Review For Movie Runner Runner
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.Peter Travers-Rolling Stone
The mannered speech is fun, the players are charismatic, and director Brad Furman maintains an agreeably brisk pace.
Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader
The movie mostly wants to look timely and seem topical. Instead, it feels irrelevant.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday
Various subplots are given short shrift and the whole thing feels more like a Cliff's Notes version of a longer piece than an actual finished motion picture.
James Berardinelli-ReelViews
Takes us inside the world of Internet gambling which proves every bit as fascinating as you'd imagine, by which I mean, not at all.
Liam Lacey-Globe and Mail
He's back! Behold, the second coming of . . . Badfleck.
Kyle Smith-New York Post
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.
Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle
This lurid and choppy morality tale is a pale copy of those Ben Mezrich books about Ivy League guys who get in over their heads by gambling.
Chris Barsanti-PopMatters
Will Richie regain his moral compass? Can our young turk turn the tables on his scheming mentor? If you're hoping for a surprise answer to any of these questions, then you are watching the wrong movie.
Jeff Meyers-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
The eye rolls are plentiful during this far-fetched thriller that provides little insight into corruption in the high-stakes world of online gambling.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
No reason to run run to see Runner Runner.
Gary Wolcott-Tri-City Herald
Unremarkable Internet gambling thriller, where every move made is a losing one.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Runner Runner feels like a movie you've seen a hundred times on cable, and hearkens back to numerous, thoroughly average, mid-budgeted dramatic thrillers of the mid-'90s that will fill programming slots on late night forever.
Kevin Jagernauth-The Playlist
It looks like everybody's lying, and that's only because the acting is pretty bad.
Wesley Morris-Grantland
A generic Hollywood thriller that has dumbed itself down and forgets about characters.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Common Sense Media
Runner Runner" is a lifeless dramatic crime thriller that is never able to wake up from hibernation. It's like a tasteless alcoholic concoction that no amount of shaking or stirring could possibly add any sort of flavor to.
Chris Sawin-Examiner.com
Runner Runner is elevated by solid performances but, for a story about gambling and striving for greatness, the film (ironically) takes very few risks.
Ben Kendrick-ScreenRant
Runner Runner falls flat, and keeps getting up when it really should just stay down.
Bill Gibron-PopMatters
It's a fast-paced thriller that simply refuses to establish any sense of tension or danger, and the characters are paper thin.
Rich Cline-Shadows on the Wall
Just when it seems like the writing can't get any lazier, Richie fills in the narrative blanks via a voice-over that squeezes in every gambling metaphor this side of Las Vegas
Mara Reinstein-Us Weekly
This dicey melodrama stacks the deck, meaning that buying a ticket is a gamble that doesn't pay off. Rent 'Rounders' instead.
Susan Granger-SSG Syndicate
You want the movie to get outrageous, but it's too dignified to go there. Much like its central villain, it can't decide what it wants to be.
Bilge Ebiri-Vulture
