Fast and gleefully over-the-top, Runner makes the most of Alan Ritchson and Owen Wilson's winning chemistry to deliver crowd-pleasing action and humor with plenty of heart.

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

The action sequences deliver; Ritchson and Wilson are an enjoyable pair, and the film moves quickly enough that the weaker stretches do not last too long. But there is not much underneath the plot.

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.

Good movie. Good storyline, but a bit more action heavy than the trailer might lead one to believe. No complaints though.
