Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Runner Runner (out now) is a thriller that isn't all that thrilling. Justin Timberlake stars as some kind of "finance guru" who starts working for a shady guy in Costa Rica (Ben Affleck) who runs an online poker website. I like the subject matter but this storyline is too neat, too easy, too familiar. Grade: C+.
