Movie Review: Runner, Runner with Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck opens tomorrow! Timberlake is a genius getting ready for college, but doesn’t have scholarship money and ends up playing poker on line to try to get his tuition. He is cheated by an off shore casino, head’s to Costa Rico to get his money back, and there he meets the boss, Affleck who recruits him to be a part of his billion dollar scam. Get ready for the women, FBI, mafia and everybody else. Not bad, but plays like a TV movie. (Rated R) – (97 Minutes) – (2 Stars)
Also opening this weekend, Gravity with Sandra Bullock and George Clooney. I reviewed Gravity a few weeks ago, loved it. (Rated PG-13) – (131 Minutes)
