No, this film will not be a cult in the same way as Rounders film even if it is produced by the two same men originally from classical, i.e. Brian Koppelman and David Levien.
Runner Runner is the last film that revolves around the world of poker. Originally, we had to wait it September 27 in the United States, but today we learn that its release has been postponed to October 4.
Even if this film does not pass to the history, it still has the ingredients needed to make a good entertainment: action, beautiful world, poker, suspense and men with suitcases full of money.
In this feature film, Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake are the stars. The film tells the story of a student ready for anything to find the owner of an online poker room after losing his scholarship.
The film did not fail to react John Pappas, Executive Director of the Poker Players Alliance: "this is not all offshore operators who are bad boys. It is a dramatization, and let's be clear on this fact. The film depicts what might happen in the worst case only".
According to him, the film could give a bad public image of online poker.
To give you a taste of the movie, here's the official trailer:
