4.0 out of 5 starsA disturbing but worthwile film
By singer on August 13, 2015
Format: Amazon Video
There has been some very harsh criticism of this film even with N. Cages outstanding performance. Unlike many I did not find this story too slow or boring or "staid", nor do I see this as a redemption story unless you consider selling out your most important ideals as 'redemptive'. Instead this is an emotionally complex story about a man who has every intention of doing the right thing, someone who wants to rise to the occasion but find the forces of power around him unwilling to give him sway in the direction he wants to go. This character is an alcoholic, needy for love and public acceptance. He faces political scandal, a rocky marriage and is burdened with the needs of some 500,000 powerless people who need him to fight on their behalf.

The message of this film is disturbing but honest; the money bags are in control of our lives and our democracy, they can back a man with good intentions back into a corner until he gives in. The journalist Chris Hedges often says that in order to make real change in society one must stay outside of the corridors of power and this film is a testament to that. What's worse is that if this character had refused to compromise he would not be able to make the changes he aspired towards. This is a politically pessimistic film that doesn't have a happy ending, love does not conquer all and good will very often loses to the interests of those in power. This is a film about America and what she's become (used and abused while its good citizens watch in frightened dismay).

4.0 out of 5 starsA rare new Cage film that's actually GOOD
By Matthew on August 29, 2015
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
A film that definitely should be considered, along with The Frozen Ground and Joe, as a pretty good addition to Nicolas Cage's filmography as he goes into the straight to dvd/vod portion of his career. The Runner is a surprisingly good movie about a Louisiana Congressman, while trying to help his community in the wake of the BP oil spill, has his career derailed because of a sex scandal and tries to redeem himself in the eyes of the people he feels he let down.

Movie provides a really interesting, sobering look at politics and just exactly who the power players are how they make things happen. How they can create and takedown superstars as they please and how easily politicians can be bought by various industries. In addition to a great performance by Cage, there are great performances by Peter Fonda, Connie Nielson, Sarah Paulson and Wendell Pierce in smaller roles. Only downfall of the movie is its short running time. Movie is about 85 minutes long before the credits start and just when the movie feels like its really heating up it ends. Felt like the movie had another half hour of story in it easily.

Watch it. For a $3.99 rental on Amazon Instant Demand you can't beat it really.

4.0 out of 5 starsA really good movie that Cage didn’t screw up with his acting. His best in a while.
By Tony Heck on August 24, 2015
Format: DVD
“Great men, men who build legacies, they aren’t always decent.” After giving an impassioned speech talking about the effects of the BP oil spill in Louisiana Congressman Colin Price (Cage) is poised to make a run for the Senate. When a scandal is revealed his career is over. Now, after losing everything he has to chose between wanting to make a real difference, or becoming like every other politician. I don’t think I even need to state this anymore but I am not a Nicolas Cage fan at all. There have been a few of his movies I liked (National Treasure, Rock) but not because of him, it was the idea and actual movie I liked. This movie falls under that category. It may have been because of the political aspect but this was very interesting to me and watching a politician build himself back up is inspiring, especially when it is someone who is really trying to make a positive change. Not many of those in real life. Overall, a really good movie that Cage didn’t screw up with his acting. His best in a while. I give it a B+.

3.0 out of 5 stars'COLIN PRYCE'S' CREDIBILITY HANGS IN THE BALANCE'
By rbmusicman/and/movie-fan' on October 16, 2015
Format: Blu-ray Verified Purchase
Slowly recovering from 'Hurricane Katrina' the 'Louisiana' coastline suffers a further disaster in the shape of
the B.P Oil-Spill which not only threatens the environment but the livelyhood of thousands that rely upon the
Sea to earn a living.......... Congressman 'Colin Pryce' (Nicolas Cage) steps up to Champion their cause, demanding
that the Government ensure that B.P looks after those that have suffered as a result of the 'Spill'
However 'Colin's' Political-Future and indeed credibility are thrown into question when his indiscretions are exposed
by the 'media'
Can he survive the onslaught from the 'Press' and 'T.V Networks' and hang-on to his Political-Career and indeed his
marriage to 'Deborah' (Connie Nielsen) or his credibility with those he genuinely has sought to help following the B.P
Oil-Spill...........Have events simply slid from his control ??
'Nicolas Cage' has been involved in quite a number of below-par movies in recent times, though this perhaps doesn't
really demand him to perform at the top of his game (as we have seen in years past) it is a credible performance from
him, as he grapples to hold things together in the role of 'Colin Pryce'
Another film worth catching up with on the movie-channel sometime.
(currently available on Region 'A' it's region 'B' release scheduled for January 4th 2016.
