Early critic reviews have positioned *Runner*, the Alan Ritchson-Owen Wilson action-comedy thriller from Angel Studios, in the low-to-mid 60s on Rotten Tomatoes ahead of its September 11 theatrical release. With roughly 17 reviews logged, the Tomatometer reflects mixed-to-mildly positive consensus, praising the stars’ buddy chemistry, brisk pacing, and over-the-top set pieces while noting familiar genre tropes. This aligns with Ritchson’s recent theatrical efforts, which have landed in a similar range rather than the higher scores of his streaming hit *Reacher*. Additional reviews expected in the final days before wide release remain the key swing factor, as fresh notices from major outlets could push the score above or below common market thresholds. Post-premiere critical additions are possible but typically limited once the film opens.
