IIscr3amII Altough "The Runner" has its downsides, it is a great movie. Both Ron Eldard and Courteney Cox perform admirably, as they make the movie even more entertaining. For those that haven't seen it, I advise you to give it a try... you might be surprised.
highheadblues77 I got this movie for free from a clerk at Blockbuster who had more than he could handle. After about two months i remembered i had it and popped it on. What a great surprise of a film. It held my intrest from start to finish. The idea of this movie is nothing new but the story is very original, i think. There are moments of great suspense. The ending had me on the egde of my seat. ****Spoiler**** The scene where he goes to the black jack table to win back the money was simply fantastic. To win it all and have his life back only to lose in a matter of seconds makes you feel so bad for this guy while at the same time screaming at him to stop! This may not be a Grade-A Hollywood film but it proves to show you what can happen with a top cast and a great story to tell. Courtney Cox wasnt as translucent at she usually is which was nice. John Goodman was good as the evil one, well in a movie like this evil is all around. Ill give this movie an 9...great story.
tpendleton This is a movie about making bad decisions. Ed continually gets himself in trouble because he can never make a right decision. Every time he puts himself in a position of getting out of a jam, he puts himself in a deeper jam by making another poor decision. I got so frustrated by Ed's actions that I found myself jumping up and down in front of my TV screaming at it. If anyone wants to learn a lesson or two about the consequences of your actions, this is the movie for you.
tmeade This is a great movie, John Goodman is great, if you like John Goodman this is a movie not to miss. I give this movie 10 stars on the fact is was a hard movie to play, I feel the actors in the movie gave it there best, and you feel like you are in the movie. I can't tell you too much it will take away from the movie.
