Runner Runner is about a cheater that gets cheated, in a nutshell.
But, its so not that simple. Richie Furst (Timberlake) is just trying to pay his way through school, by playing internet poker, and after he is cheated out of his money by Ivan Block (Affleck), Richie decides that this "wrong must be righted," and goes after Ivan in an attempt to retrieve his money. Ivan gives Richie an opportunity of a lifetime to make more than he could possible imagine, and of course, that is never as good or as easy as it seems.
I liked this one. I'm a fan of JT and Ben Affleck, but, they both seriously did a good job. Sometimes, I thought I had it all figured out, but, there's always something that I didn't consider. I loved that Justin played an extremely intelligent character, and Anthony Mackie did a great job as well (as usual).
