Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
In the aftermath of the 2010 BP oil spill, an idealistic but flawed politician is forced to confront his dysfunctional life after his career is destroyed in a sex scandal.
Leave your thoughts about The Runner.
| Entertainment WeeklyChris NashawatyThe Runner is a well-meaning character study with an admirably cynical ending, but it’s too cold to ever fully draw you in. |
| New York Daily NewsJordan HoffmanThe Runner, while painfully low-budget and a little patchy, is an interesting look at how sausage is made. |
| The A.V. ClubJesse HassengerThere’s no revenge, no murder, and no kidnapping. It’s a low-budget New Orleans Cage movie with some dignity. It would be a pleasure to report that The Runner is also good, but this slim if mildly compelling film lands somewhere between character sketch and morality tale. |
| ObserverMatthew KasselThe problem is the movie never gives us a reason to care about Colin in the first place, or even to dislike him that much, if that’s how we’re supposed to feel. Colin is neutral, a kind of empty vessel, and Mr. Cage is his typical aloof self with a "Con Air" accent. |
| RogerEbert.comGlenn KennyThe Runner squanders at least one great performance (Fonda’s) and delivers a dispiritingly inert cinematic experience. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperIn the lurid and cheesy and sometimes unintentionally funny political thriller Runner, one of the most intriguing and eclectic casts of the year is wasted in a murky cesspool that comes across as a third-rate version of “House of Cards” with a little bit of “Scandal” thrown in for bad measure. |
| VarietyScott FoundasThe Runner doesn’t lack for drama, but the characters are so thinly and predictably drawn, and the movie’s supposed insights into the art of political compromise so banal, that nothing catches fire. |
| Village VoiceNick SchagerThe film tackles its issues with a furrowed-brow solemnity that eventually spills into outright sluggishness. |
| Los Angeles TimesMichael RechtshaffenThe plodding film goes awfully heavy on script exposition and all too light on character depth, leaving Cage and company — including a smartly cast Peter Fonda as his been-there, done-that alcoholic dad — to come up with their own complexity. |
| Arizona RepublicRandy CordovaStark’s turgid approach feels both pompous and cold, and the film never connects emotionally. |
