Review of Runner Runner (2013) by Melissa M — 14 Oct 2014

I was intrigued with this flick because it's based on the true story of online gambling. The best part about this movie is that Ben Affleck is in almost every scene. He absolutely stole the screen reminding us of a few scenes from Boiler Room.

I thought I would be bias with JT, but it breaks my heart to say this is not his best performance. Right when we all felt he had reached his acting career peak his cinematic confidence falls a little short in this.

It is a good movie, it is not a great movie. But! I also think with these two leading A-List (sexy) Actors the expectations were extremely high. The plot had a few holes and seemed confusing at times, However, I did learn what a runner-runner straight is in a hand of poker! It was a good date night action movie, but I think I'll pass the day it comes out on dvd.
