Runner Runner (2013) – Movie Review ★★★
Stars Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake, Gemma Arterton and Anthony Mackie – A Princeton student (Tiimberlake) gets cheated out of his college savings whilst betting on an online poker game & decides to track down Ivan Block (Affleck) who is the owner of the Online Betting Company to get his money back but instead gets lured into Block’s lifestyle a life of Women, Money & Corruption VERDICT Brad Furman’s movie is pretty predictable – the characters although performed well by Affleck & Timberlake lack any humanity and you feel nothing for either of them – in my opinion the picture should have been more aggressive with a darker tone but instead it ends up being a satisfying yet forgettable slice of cinema – overall I would wait for it’s DVD release and not waste your dollar at the box office…
