Critics consensus

“An empty, relentlessly frantic thriller, The Runner 's real time gimmick and flat-footed plotting generate more headaches than suspense.”

J

Jared Richards

RTThe Age (Australia)Sep 9, 2026

Despite its blackmail plot unfolding (loosely) in real-time, this forgettable 84-minute thriller is devoid of any rising tension.

P

Peter Travers

RTThe Travers TakeSep 4, 2026

In this dumb-as-dirt kidnap drama, Gal Gadot huffs and puffs, trying to outrun an idiot plot that goes nowhere in 84 minutes.

R

Robert Daniels

RTNew York TimesSep 3, 2026

Gal Gadot takes a mighty stumble in the unimaginative thriller “The Runner.”

P

Puja Talwar

RTThe FederalSep 30, 2026

It's a slight film built on a familiar chassis, but Macdonald's control of pace and Gadot's committed physicality keep it from ever feeling like a retread.
