Brad Furman surprised audiences with The Lincoln Lawyer, a smarter-than-average thriller that gave new meaning to Matthew McConaughey‘s career. His follow-up is aptly called Runner, Runner and deals with a gambler whose racked up too much dept so moonlights in the shady underbelly of the black market.
Starring Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck people have been divided as to whether this will be a potential Oscar contender or just an high reaching and highly enjoyable thriller. Place your bets and check out the trailer.
