Leave your thoughts about Runner Runner.
| The PlaylistKevin JagernauthRunner Runner is content to stay high gloss, with no filler. |
| The Film StageNathan BartlebaughThere may have been a good movie somewhere in Runner Runner but it's not even in sight as it stands nows. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldEven when you have no clue what they're talking about, you know exactly where the movie's going and can pretty much tell from your watch how and when they'll get there. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenJustin Timberlake lacks the charisma needed to make his quest believable. |
| Miami HeraldRene RodriguezIn its early moments, the movie evokes everything from "The Social Network" to "Casino." By the end, the film has become as exciting as a game of Old Maid. R-rated thrillers are hardly ever this dull and listless, but this movie manages to eradicate all of Timberlake’s charisma and makes you flash back to Affleck’s "Paycheck"/"Gigli" era. How does this even happen? |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfThe opening teases discomfort and desperation, only to end as easily as a network television drama. Now where's the risk in that? |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzUnremarkable Internet gambling thriller, where every move made is a losing one. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Jeff MeyersWill 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. |
| National PostChris KnightThis is more the fault of the lacklustre script than the actors, who do what they can with a story that never quite gets out of first gear. |
| ScreenAnarchyJason GorberTitle refers to 4.2% chance you have in poker of hitting flush...Any poker player will know that initial set of cards is known as the "flop," a fair description for this film with even longer odds at finding an appreciative audience. |
