Audience Says

With a winning duo at its heart, Runner may stumble over a few plot holes, but its steady stride and affable energy keep this action ride entertaining.

3/5

It's business as usual for both Ritchson and Wilson, but perfectly serviceable action baloney with just enough humour and emotion to keep you engaged.

The film’s never boring despite being tonally uneven. B-movie vibes but it’s fast and fun – and funny.

2/4

Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson go through the action-comedy motions without leaving much of an impression. You can figure out everything you need to know just from the typecasting.

3/5

"Runner" is about as generic and utility-grade an action-comedy hybrid as you can get, but the meh script is rescued by the casting.

7/10

The balance of sincerity and humor fits the film’s stakes and the performers’ vibe. It may seem like simple stuff, but the execution makes this an exciting run.

I went into this movie with pretty low expectations. The trailer makes the film look terrible. But Runner turns out to be entertaining with a couple likable leads.

Another recipe of comedy and action yet interesting plot line. Predictable as usual and quite outlandish but good popcorn flick nevertheless
