    So I wasn’t expecting much, when I started watching this last night. OMFG was I completely wrong.

    This movie is so bad it is almost an achievement. I made it 60 minutes into the movie before I quit. I don’t get Glenn Powell. He is pretty but he has zero screen presence.

    Just skip this crap.

    Opening of 'The 10th Victim' based on the novel "The 7th Victim' by Robert Sheckley.

    The premise is slightly different. You sign up and go one on one as a Hunter and then as a Victim. You have to survive seven hunts.

        Meh.

        Edit: my feelings on the movie, not OPs opinion.

          I think Glen Powell was miscast for this movie. If you watch Hit Man or Twisters the man can act and does have charisma and screen presence, just in a different way than this movie wanted him to show it as the angriest man alive.

          I had fun with the movie but I was hoping it would be better. It had a lot of satire and poking at issues in the current world but never fully delivered on any idea fully.

            The original Schwarzenegger movie was more entertaining for sure, this was a whole other level of what seemed like AI slop writing

            Absolutely on both counts.

              It never even crossed my mind to watch that movie. If you feel the need to cleanse yourself by watching a seriously good adaption of the source material, I can recommend the 1970 German TV movie (which preceded both the Schwarzenegger movie and the King novel upon which it was based):

                I didn’t see hitman, but I did see Twisters and naw he dragged that one down too. I also saw him in Everyone Wants Some and he was just as flat in that.

                  Started out really good imo but became worse and the end wasn't satisfying. Overall enjoyed it.

                        Huh, I loved it. Did you read the book?

                        Oh such a good movie. Maybe it will help open the eyes of some people that this reality is less than 10 years away.

                        But it wont.

                          Where is Paul Verhoeven when we need him? He would have made an amazing Running Man film.
