Runner Runner (2013)
10/10
The low reviews are puzzling — this is a very entertaining movie
21 December 2013
This movie is as real as the headlines we read. In past centuries gamblers would sail into the unknown on ships gambling with their lives, explore new territories, start wars, take extraordinary financial risks starting new industries ... and gamble at cards, dice, and anything else where odds and probability are involved.

The implicit relationships between university graduates, wall street, economic bets, the ups and downs of online gambling, poker, Ponzi schemes and corrupt governments are real.

This movie was a fictional, largely accurate and very entertaining portrayal of the on-line gambling industry ... a wild, wholly and unregulated billion dollar industry. The acting was good, the glitz entertaining and kept my interest from the opening scenes to its end.

What more can you want from a movie?
