Runner, Runner - 2013 (Ben Affleck, Justin Timberlake) - Blu-ray Forum

Riddler The Slag · 06-06-2013, 05:21 PM

Here is the trailer.

Any thoughts?

cinemaphile · 06-06-2013, 05:23 PM

I've really been looking forward to this one since I first heard about it way back.

Foggy · 06-06-2013, 05:41 PM

Really? That's the film, a stupid thriller with Ben Affleck over acting while feeding cronies to alligators??? REALLY!?!?

"One of the internets dirty little secrets...online gambling".

Dirty secrets? I'm pretty sure online gambling is pretty well accepted, I'm pretty sure there are dirtier secrets on the Internet than that, like porn, or Gangnam Style.

"We need a domineering, unlikable figure"

"Someone get Bob Gunton, stat"

Anyways, this looks completely forgettable.

I'm a fan of both Affleck and Timberlake, but I have to agree. Rental-worthy at best.

Samus Aran · 06-06-2013, 08:54 PM

Boiler Room 2?

This looks like something Affleck would've made before he became an acclaimed director and storyteller. Maybe directing doesn't pay as much for him yet so this is a paycheck job.

Just saw Ben on Jimmy Fallon tonight. He's a pretty funny dude and seems like a nice guy. The movie looks good from the clip they played tonight.
I won't check out the trailer since it's close to this movie being released and I'm going to it.

WhySoCereal · 10-04-2013, 03:23 AM

I'll check this out in the 5 dollar theater.

L-Rouge · 10-04-2013, 03:28 AM

oh yea, that was the accompanying trailer to "Gravity", it looked interesting until the Alligators came along. Rental.

will rent "Captain Phillips" from Tom Hanks as well

.

Samus Aran · 10-04-2013, 07:02 AM

The reviews seem to say Affleck is great but everything else sucks, including the actual lead of the movie.

Tony208 · 10-04-2013, 07:06 AM

said no one

anyway, affleck and gemma might be worth a view

Quite the opposite. I thought Timberlake did just fine. Affleck continues to mumble and slur everything he says, with a little overacting thrown in here and there.

The movie wasnt bad. Enjoyable but nothing groundbreaking. Its actually what you expect. 3.5/5 for me, rounded to 4 for the poll.

Tony208 · 10-05-2013, 10:13 PM

I can't help but laugh at that part in the trailer when Affleck says por favor

Pounder · 10-05-2013, 10:19 PM

I really enjoyed this. Stupid fun entertainment. 3.5/5 but will give it a 3 in the poll because it was not a 4.

Kevin Holly · 10-06-2013, 04:41 PM

It sucked but I liked it anyway.

Gotta hand it to Getaway as the best of the year so far, but this is a close second.
