      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      It has an impressive cast and an intriguing premise, but Runner Runner wastes them on a bland, haphazardly assembled thriller with very little payoff.

      Cinephemeride [ a film on which the critics have been much too harsh. It's not the film of the year but a good little thriller, unpretentious, modern and in tune with the times, much too underrated Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/01/24 Full Review Audience Member It starts as a regular thriller, but it loses strength as it goes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member An all star cast, with a great story line and plot but the movie just wasn't that good. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Un film che vuole essere troppe cose, e finisce per non fare nulla bene; per diventare un ibrido che mischia numerosi elementi senza mai affrontarne uno con impegno. Si parla di poker, di gioco d'azzardo, di frode e di corruzione; si affrontano posizioni lavorative sconosciute senza entrare nel dettaglio e pure la lovestory è appena abbozzata e chiaramente forzata per rientrare nei pochi minuti a disposizione. Condiamo il tutto con le scadenti interpretazioni di Justin Timberlake e di Gemma Arterton e lo spreco è condito. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The movie started out pretty good but of course the 2nd half was ridiculous. If you just need something to watch and waste time then this movie will do. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a shameless copy of Grisham's The Firm. Poorly made. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Larushka Ivan-Zadeh metro.co.uk The leads, including a demeaned Gemma Arterton, are sparkling high-rollers but no one really emerges a winner from this forgettable low-risk, low-stakes drama. Rated: 2/5 Sep 6, 2017 Full Review Peter Travers Rolling Stone The actors hit the jackpot, but only in terms of their paychecks. The audience gets a tension-free, tight-assed, Casino ripoff that leaves them thoroughly fleeced. Rated: 1/4 Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle Director Furman and cinematographer Mauro Fiore make lovely work of the tropical light, but the film has none of the loose-limbed energy of Furman's stealth hit, The Lincoln Lawyer. Rated: 2/5 Oct 11, 2013 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Though the film is over before it ever gets going, the good-looking cast doesn’t make the substance-free story worth enduring. Rated: 1.5/4 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Kip Mooney College Movie Review The slickest piece of garbage you'll see all year. Rated: D+ Sep 17, 2021 Full Review Mike Massie Gone With The Twins Devoid of the flair of excelling in anything specific. Rated: 5/10 Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
