Nobody wins in Runner Runner, a low-aiming, by-the-numbers thriller about the high-stakes world of online gambling. Not Ben Affleck, who looks a long way from Argo in his role as swaggering Ivan Block, the "wizard of odds", who lives like a king down in shady Costa Rica. Not Gemma Arterton, sporting a nuclear tan as a cut-price femme fatale. Not even perky Justin Timberlake as Richie, the Princeton rookie who decides to take a flutter on a hazardous new career. Did we say hazardous? Surely not, what with all that easy money, foaming champagne and luxury yachts. Admittedly, Ivan has been known to bend the rules and grease some palms, But he's a good guy and a decent boss, who likes nothing better than strolling down the jetty on a warm summer's night to throw chicken carcasses to his pet crocodiles.

Shockingly, it turns out that Ivan has a dark side. The beach-house parties and dancing girls are revealed to be the playthings of Satan, and even the humble crocodiles become the film's equivalent of Chekhov's gun on the mantelpiece, to be hauled out again when the blood hits the water.

 

In the meantime, poor Richie finds himself bedevilled by sketchy supporting characters who function as a kind of karaoke Greek chorus. "Do you have any idea how crazy this is?" says one. "You should pack it in, pal," chirrups another. "I just don't want you to make the same mistakes I did," announces a third.

watch runner runner online free : This is a lazy, trashy film that barely goes through the motions. It wallows endlessly by the swimming pool and then gives a perfunctory frown of pious disapproval. At the end, the credits inform us that Runner Runner is actually executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio – a man smart enough to grab a piece of the action while keeping his own reputation at a discreet arm's length. It's the suckers on camera who wind up getting stung.

Writers David Levien and Brian Koppelman, who penned the 1998 gambling drama "Rounders," return to the poker world with "Runner Runner," out in U.S. theaters on Friday. While gambling is a core theme, the writers said they were inspired by the behaviors and motivations of shady operators from many other industries as well.



"We never set out to intentionally hit a topic. We loved the idea of a maverick businessman who is immune to extradition. It was informed by gaming as well as other business figures," said Levien of the 20th Century Fox (FOXA.O) film.

watch runner runner movie online "Runner Runner," which owes its name to poker slang, follows Timberlake as a graduate student who goes to Costa Rica to confront an online gambling tycoon played by Affleck, who swindles him.

While gambling is actually rarely seen in the thriller, which features luxurious locations, lavish parties and plenty of fight scenes, the portrayal of gambling's underside was enough to spook casino industry groups like the American Gaming Association (AGA) as they push for a legitimate online poker market. download runner runner movie
