Racing to find the right running-based Z-grade thriller for you
If you want a bad time for perverse fun, you at least want the right bad time. We run down the differences between Runner and The Runner.
Two movies, Runner and The Runner, are set to release within a narrow timeframe, causing confusion among potential viewers. Both films feature similar premises, but differ in their lead actors and overall quality. Runner stars Alan Ritchson, who leads a crime-comedy plot involving the transportation of a transplant-ready liver, while The Runner sees Gal Gadot navigating an Eagle Eye-like situation, racing against time to outsmart a blackmailer.
Despite both films being classified as poor choices for cinema, Runner may offer some redeeming qualities, such as humor and decent action scenes, whereas The Runner appears to be a complete flop, filled with odd moments and a disappointing twist ending. Ultimately, viewers seeking a bad movie experience may prefer Runner, provided they have a taste for low-quality cinema.
