I just watched The Running Man (2025).
I'm pretty sceptical of remakes, but it was quite enjoyable. Had a bit of a Guns Akimbo vibe (awesome movie).
The Total Recall remake was bland (all I remember is a big elevator) and the Robocop remake was good as "Different Robot Cop", but missed the essence of the original.
This one was different enough in a way that made sense.
