Brad Furman’s Runner Runner wants to be a mouse-in-a-maze thriller with his protagonist caught between a rock and a hard place desperately seeking a way to extricate himself. With tone and pace much like his previous The Lincoln Lawyer, Runner Runner had the potential to be a gripping thriller, but the attempt mostly fails due to lightweight acting and a lack of development in its plotting. The ingredients are here for something special, but the result feels underdone and rather lacking flavor.
