The Runner (2026)
The Runner is in cinemas in Australia now. Its streaming release date hasn't been announced — this page updates the day it lands on streaming.
The verdict
The Runner neither embarrasses itself nor gives you much reason to recommend it. It holds a 6.2/10 on TMDB from 45 ratings, right around average territory. It's a tight 86-minute watch — easy to fit into a busy night. It's in theatres in Australia now — best caught on the big screen.
Should you spend 86 minutes on it?
86 minutes of English thriller. Only 45 people have rated it, so treat that 6.2 as an early signal rather than a verdict.
Story
Maia Marten, a brilliant London lawyer, has her life shattered by a single call on her morning run: her son has been taken. To get him back, she must keep running, obey every ruthless command, and trust no one-each second a test of how far a mother will go to save her child.
