Some movies are bad, but they know they're bad. That pretty much sums up Night of the Running Man. There is no pretense of being anything more than B movie schlock.
The plot is ridiculously simplistic, the characters are cartoonish, and the sex and violence fulfill the sleaze quotient. The dialogue and acting are mediocre, although Scott Glenn fares decently well as the villainous hit man.
Sometimes you want to put your brain in neutral and just passively watch some schlock, but the schlock has to at least be entertaining. This one should do the trick.
