Here's what the critics are saying:

The film might take its name from poker subculture, but it lacks all the urgency, single-mindedness and swiftness that the title implies at its most literal. — Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post

It’s not that “Runner Runner” is predictable. It’s that you don’t care, either about the characters or what happens to them. — Ty Burr, The Boston Globe

Fortunately we do have Timberlake. He has a way of breathing life into even deadened moments. You want to watch him. But like most stars, his acting is better when the plotting is smarter. — Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

Even with its glossy Costa Rican setting, Runner Runner is a vacant excursion with plot holes the size of a small Caribbean island. — Claudia Puig, USA Today
