In high school, Yamato, Eijiro, Ken, Riku, Yugo and Joji were all members of the track and field team. They were close friends who wore matching bracelets. After high school, though, they went their separate ways. That is until they are all invited to join the " Runaway" group - whose goal is to participate in "On the Run - Mission in Tokyo", where if they manage to outrun everyone, they win 100 million yen! The six men reunite, managing to reignite their friendship... However, this game is not at all like the TV show. Kronos, the managing company for this version has been taken over by a new game master with hunters that are going out of control! When contestants are captured, they are covered in a shadow and disappear. This game is no longer just for fun but a potential death game with 10 billion yen now on the line! Just who will survive and at what cost...? (Source: Japanese = Tosochu-movie.com || Translation = MyDramaList) *A 20th Anniversary Project for the TV program "Run for the Money". Edit Translation

Reviews
Watch the tv show first, then you can enjoy(?) this.
Okay so my personal take (prior to reading the other review, which I also think is relevant), was that I thought it was very much a fun movie. I enjoyed the whole thing, albeit a bit too predictable in places. Plot and writing wise I can’t say it was strong, but it’s a movie based upon a real-time reality tv show. I wasn’t exactly here for plot and writing, but the fun of the premise of the tv show - that being - running away from hunters to win money.Writing wise, to sum up why it seems to have harsh reviews everywhere, is that it feels like it was written for the 6-12 year olds. I’m also 90% sure that wasn’t the audience of the original or the demographic of the fans (of the tv show or the idol groups). So it was an odd choice.
If you’re not into Fantastics, JO1, or the original show (premise), I wouldn’t recommend.
Not really sure what to say beyond that. It’s a fun, easy watch that doesn’t demand thinking and the cast are who they are. For me the highlights were the music and the cast.
Good cast, bad story
I love JO1 and Fantastics but they were done so dirty with the writing. It’s so corny and their characters make such dumb decisions I can’t comprehend. They don’t act with enough urgency despite the situation they’re in. And you don’t really feel attached to the characters unless you know the idols I guess? Not to mention the ending feels like it should be a twist but it’s so cliche and basically how you’d expect it to go. I’d say the only value in watching this is if you were a fan of either group, that’s it.
