It's an American indie(ish) movie about a TV gameshow type thing where contestants are (I think) randomly selected then have to kill each other with cameras following them around.

Possibly has a 5 in the title, came out a few years ago.

Any ideas?

You're not thinking of the Running Man are you? Has Arnie in it? Came out more than a few years ago though.

Sounds like Series 7: The Contenders to me. IIRC that's a FilmFour outing though, I don't recall it being American.

Great little movie though.

Series 7, that's it! Cheers Cougar. Pretty sure it was American though, I remember malls.

I have seen The Running Man too, but that wasn't what I was thinking of ๐Ÿ˜‰

To be fair, it's not that uncommon a theme.

Battle Royale, The Hunger Games...

Interestingly, Series 7's plot is considerably closer to the original Running Man premise in the book than the Arnie film was.

I bet that's to its credit - the film of Running Man was absolute bilge compared to the novella.
