REVIEW - Runner Runner

Justin Timberlake plays a Princeton student, studying for his masters in Math. He's drawn - apparently like lot of students - into online gambling where he loses his modest, but entire savings that had been accrued to cover his school fees.

He decides to visit Costa Rica, the lair of Ivan Block (Ben Afleck), the guy who runs the casino that operates he online site that Timberlake believes cheated him out of is his savings. Timeberlake's innate brilliance results in a job offer from Block. This leads to success, fortune, yachts and babes, and interest from the FBI.

Predictably - like much of this movie - things go from bad to worse, as the ante is upped. It all plays out to its telegraphed conclusion.
