Rating of 3/4
The whole premise is an excuse for Arnold to run around, displaying various acts of badassery. It isn't really an incredibly smart film, but it is often an effective one and, as an entertaining action thriller, it works.
This movie is an absolute classic that predicted the extremes of reality TV before there was reality TV (okay so we aren't killing people on TV yet). A interesting sci-fi concept and great action.
