Ole Sandbaek Joergensen This is actually a mix of a lot of genres and as the films story it all gets a bit mixed and matched and it seems like some things are not really explained or not really closed, this is a shame because the players are very charismatic, there is some great dialog (both witty and serious) and it is actually an entertaining movie with interesting scenes and scenarios.It might not be Ben Afflecks best performance, but I think he does a good job at being and dumb son of a bitch :), not Justin Timberlakes finest hour either, but he also has a good character that slowly discovers what he is dealing with and given his seemingly high intelligence in other accounts, he is blinded by the money and the acknowledgment, but it doesn't really fits his character.It is an entertaining film, but it was not what it was market to be, it could and should have been more, maybe half an hour longer to really show some of the things that was missing and close of parts of the story that was left behind.

Floated2 Runner Runner has been a massive hyped film since it's release but the general consensus is that the film is a disappointment. However in some cases the film does not shine through its talented cast but the cast is what here goes by to an extent through entertainment. The definitions come together in Runner Runner, which takes place in the world of online gambling. Justin Timberlake plays Richie Furst, a Princeton student trying to pay his way through university by steering others toward gambling sites, for which he gets a small commission.When the Dean tells him to stop, he turns to actual online gambling, but quickly loses his bankroll. Being a brain, he runs the numbers and figures that the only way he could have been beaten so soundly is if someone was cheating. So he goes to Costa Rica, whence Ivan Block (Ben Affleck) runs the site in comfortable exile. Following through several series of predictable manner, we see the film unfold but it could have been done is a better fashion. Entertainment but do not expect much.

rbrb First rate movie showing the dangers of gambling especially on line gambling.A whizz kid student is duped by an on line gaming site, so he seeks to find out why from the boss of the gaming site.....The film has a thoughtful and intelligent script with plenty of drama and sufficient action.I cannot understand why the voters on IMDb give such low voting.During the picture I needed to ask who was the charismatic young lead actor.This movie scores highly for me as it reveals realistically the dangers of betting on line.8/10

rileytheawesome This is the Dream Team movie. I love Ben Affleck. I love Justin Timberlake. There is nothing better than the two of them together for this movie. Sure, it's a really sh*tty movie about gambling. It's basically 21 with Ben Affleck playing Kevin Spacey and Anthony Mackie as Laurence Fishburne. The story is so dumb, it is perfect. Who needs a good story? Who needs good acting. You have f*cking Ben Affleck and f*cking Justin Timberlake. I could just watch these guys sit in a room together talking. I don't need a loose storyline about alligators and cheating and all that bullsh*t. It's in there, they made d*mn sure they had some stupid storyline in there. I can't wait for Runner Runner 2 starring Mark Wahlberg and Eminem. In fact let's call it Faster Faster. They won't be online gambling though, they would do something even duller like golf or bowling. An underground bowling team, led by Mark Wahlberg, cheating it's way to the top brings in unsuspecting Eminem for the final show. Perfect. Anyway, this was a f*cking awesome movie if you like the two actors, if you don't, don't bother watching the movie.
