What people are saying
Updated nightlyRunner lands as a mixed but watchable action thriller, mostly because Alan Ritchson's Hank Malone and Owen Wilson's Ben Bishop carry the chase with solid acting and enough humor. The setup, a former soldier and his unlikely partner trying to deliver medical cargo while a cartel hunts them to save a little girl, does the job, but the story feels familiar to a lot of people. Ritchson gets the warmest reception, while Wilson's comedic timing is another part that keeps the movie from sinking. Rodrigo Santoro's Damian Zaldivar and several side characters get less love, and some viewers found the cartel threat and originality thin. It's not a disaster, but it's the kind of movie people are more likely to shrug at than rave about.
