'Runner Runner' enjoyable but lightweight
Taking its title from a hand in poker that is vastly improved by other cards on the table, ‘Runner Runner’ is a slick yet soulless thriller set in the high-stakes world of online gambling.
Director Brad Furman deals himself a potentially winning hand with an attractive cast led by Justin Timberlake, Ben Affleck and Gemma Arterton, plus gorgeous Puerto Rican locations (standing in for Costa Rica) festooned with scantily clad lovelies.
