Runner
A former soldier is thrown into a brutal race against time when a critical medical delivery makes him and his unlikely partner the targets of a ruthless cartel. As the mission spirals into a deadly manhunt, every detour, delay, and bullet pushes them closer to failure. With betrayal closing in from every side, they must survive the chase and deliver their cargo to save the life of a little girl.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyPeople are split down the middle on this one. Alan Ritchson, as former soldier Hank Malone, gets the most praise for his physical commitment, and the chemistry between him and Owen Wilson's character is a noted bright spot that brings some decent humor to the relentless chase. The problem is the story itself, a standard-issue cartel manhunt plot that feels predictable and thin, with most of the supporting characters, like Rodrigo Santoro's villain or Leila George's Kate, landing as flat or forgettable. It's a solidly made action flick where the lead performances almost make you forget you've seen this exact race-against-time mission a dozen times before.
