Runner Runner is the type of slick, fast-paced flick that audiences usually always fall. It opens today (Oct. 4) on area screens.
Here’s hoping that they have better taste this time around, despite a cast that includes Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck. No, they’re not great thespians, b

ut they do have the benefit have at least having appeared in entertaining movies.
That’s not the case with the Brad Furman (The Lincoln Lawyer) directed film. Sure it’s escapism, but it requires incredible leaps of faith along with a complete suspension of disbelief. The plot holes make it incredibly unlikely that rational movie-goers could actually embrace the film on any level.
That’s not to say Runner Runner – which is filmed from a script by Brian Koppelman and David Levien (who partnered on Ocean’s Thirteen) – doesn’t try. It just fails.

With

Of course he gets hustled. If not the movie would have lasted about a half hour and, in the process, make a lot of people happy. Instead, he gets a couple of his math geek buds to analyze his data and they deduce that he was cheated.

He impresses Block and, of course, he offers him a high-profile gig at the company where he soon learns of corruption, government payoffs and murder. So so surprising.
That’s the primary problem with Runner Runner. There’s nothing new here to chew
