Runner Runner is a shoddily written film. The characters are as convincing as onions being sold at Rs.2 a kilo. Even when there are situations where you think something interesting will happen, it takes the dullest possible route. It is surprising how they managed to rope in Affleck and Timberlake for this film. Maybe it was the pay check, it can’t be the story, that’s for sure.

A promising plot like this could have offered you a full course, yet what you’re served is diet fare at best.

It’s the sort of film best enjoyed on DVD. If you have to take a call during the film, don’t worry; chances are you’d have missed nothing.
