Runner Runner | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

While the script seems very concerned with the formula, it glosses over the details. Everything in the film happens very easily, from losing money to getting close to the highly-protected Block to organizing a counter plan.

No matter how good all this looks, there's not enough tension to keep us on our toes and not enough depth of character to make us care how it all plays out.

The leads, including a demeaned Gemma Arterton, are sparkling high-rollers but no one really emerges a winner from this forgettable low-risk, low-stakes drama.

There may have been a good movie somewhere in Runner Runner but it's not even in sight as it stands nows.

The story is so inconsequential that the best performances in the world would hardly make a dent in its snooze-worthy screenplay.
