The Thrill is Gone: Why 'The Runner' Falls Flat Gal Gadot's latest outing, "The Runner," premieres on Amazon Prime September 2, but it's unlikely to leave viewers breathless.
Despite its frenetic pace and high stakes plot, the thriller relies on familiar tropes and fails to deliver genuine suspense or emotional resonance.
Director Kevin Macdonald's visual acuity is evident throughout the film. The opening montage showcases London as a city where people are lost in their own digital worlds, oblivious to reality around them.
