🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The runner is an acquired taste at 0.0/10. We recommend checking the trailer and synopsis before diving in.

Not every film is made for everyone. Read the synopsis, watch the trailer — you'll know right away if it's for you.

A 2013 film from an era before CGI overload, with real performances that still hit hard. Best for: genre fans and those open to something unconventional.
