Equal parts Big Oil message movie and melodramatic character study, The Runner gets so close to depth that it's weirdly frustrating to see it fail.
August 21, 2015
... contains a fair amount of cynicism toward media sensationalism and the political system, yet by always focusing on the politicians instead of the working-class Gulf Coast residents ... the film indulges in that which it condemns.
August 12, 2015
Cage makes us believe the good and the bad in this man.
November 05, 2015
Although first-time writer/director Austin Stark has his heart in the right place and Cage eschews his trademark zaniness, it's only watchable rather than gripping.
August 07, 2015
These plot elements, and the actors, have all the makings of a truly juicy and thought-provoking political melodrama. So it's dispiriting to see filmmaker Stark create such a weird, jagged hash out of them.
April 05, 2016
Despite its potentially juicy political premise and Nic Cage's relatively solid performance - more on that later - Austin Stark's The Runner ends up being a poor-man's version of politically-charged TV shows such as House of Cards and Scandal.

Cage's performance is as fuzzy as his character's sense of bearings.

The Runner never approaches the keen insight and social satire of political films such as The Candidate, Primary Colors or Bulworth.
September 11, 2015
Slow-moving political drama has strong language, some sex.
August 07, 2015
Stark repeatedly squanders the decent ing cast, revealing scant backstory that would enhance the often vague character motivation on display.
August 06, 2015
A hollow, listless political drama that could have been a contender.
November 02, 2015
Everyone loves Nicolas Cage the bug-eyed lunatic. Nicolas Cage the serious actor, that's a tougher sell.
