    Runner, Runner

    Reviewed by

    As the trailer does a good job of illustrating, the entire plot for Runner Runner could be written on a post it. You would think that would seal this film's fate as terrible, yet the whole rags to riches, moral corruption angle is so appealing that it's really all the plot you need to make a film like this work. Now Timberlake is not the world's most gifted actor but he is believable enough here to pull off Richie First's smart, cocky, Princeton educated gambler who gets in over his head in Costa Rica. Several plot twists which aren't that twisty later, you're pretty much right where you'd thought you be by the end, with a feeling that it took way too long to get there. Ben Affleck's snarky villain is the film's strongest asset, with a few of his speeches generating some chuckles, but this is essentially a tv movie with better talent and a higher budget.
