All Is Lost (2013) |
"
All Is Lost is a movie that is understated, yet still manages to play out on a staggeringly huge canvas; the personal and the universal one and the same."

Runner Runner (2013) |
"
Like a game of online poker, the thrills in Runner Runner come in small increments. Pretty but vacant, it's unremarkable and entirely forgettable."

Runner Runner (2013) |
"
In poker terms, Runner Runner is the player who wins an average stack of chips, bets moderately, cashes out even and leaves before the game gets interesting."
