The Runner

source: The Runner

Aiden (Edouard Philipponnat) is a spoiled rich kid who runs track and deals drugs. His mom (Elisabeth Röhm) narcs on him as a way to help him. He is in possession of enough cocaine for a dealing charge which is a mandatory 10 years. Aiden agrees to co-operate with the police. He goes back to school and deals drugs as normal along with his source Blake (Nadji Jeter). The big plan is convince Blake to invite the big man (Eric Balfour) to a party for a big deal while Aiden wears a wire. The main problem is Aiden is so messed up on drugs he has a hard time functioning. I really couldn't get into the production. I didn't see the nerdy kid they invited at the party. The film had more rats than a Mar-a-Lago investigation. Aiden was just too messed up to be a protagonist. Guide: F-word. Near sex. No nudity.

Sabin film are generally cheap, can't watch films. This film is the exception. Good act, good production and the lead is anew actor that is not bad. Worth a watch. Ignore all the low review trolls.

I saw The Runner, starring Edouard Philipponnat-House of Gucci, Bad Impulse; Kerri Medders-Seal Team_tv, Promised Land_tv; Elisabeth Rohm-Bombshell, Angel_tv and Eric Balfour-Haven_tv, 24_tv. This is a low budget tale of a rich teenager that is also a drug dealer that gets in over his head. Edouard plays the teen that not only sells the drugs but also likes to partake in them. When his mother, Elisabeth, turns him in, Edouard is offered a deal to go undercover and get some bigger drug dealers, in exchange for his freedom. Eric plays the drug king pin that is their target. Kerri plays Edouards' girl friend that has a bad experience with some drugs that Edouard gives her. It's rated R for drug and alcohol use, language and violence and has a running time of 1 hour & 42 minutes. It's not one that I would buy on DVD or even rent. If you want to see it, I'd wait until it comes to tv.
