Runner, Runner

Actors:  Justin Timberlake, Ben Affleck, Gemma Arterton, Anthony Mackie
Rating:  4 out of 10, It’s good to see that Affleck hasn’t totally lost his ability to deliver an absolute stinker of a movie, a la Gigli.  He plays a criminal mastermind here running an online gambling empire from Costa Rica.  He draws in the innocent Timberlake to take the fall for his crimes.  The plot is all over the place with sub-plots emerging and disappearing without resolution.  The overall arc is exposed way too early and the ending twist way, way too pat. 

MVP:  Mackie as the hat wearing FBI agent
