The Runner, an 84‑minute film starring Gal Gadot, premiered on Prime Video on September 2. The story follows Maia Marten, a lawyer who secures a key witness in a murder trial before being blackmailed by an anonymous caller to locate the witness and kill him, thereby ensuring the release of a crime boss. The caller threatens her kidnapped son, Noah, played by Rory Wilmot, and demands that she act within a strict time limit. The narrative includes a series of chase scenes in which Maia runs through streets, across bridges, onto boats, in front of cars, and onto the London Underground. The caller hacks her phone and uses private information, though his identity remains undisclosed. Billiam Lewis provides the voice for the caller. The film was directed by Kevin Macdonald and written by Mark Gibson. Critical reception has noted that the plot relies on improbable logic and that the antagonist’s role is underdeveloped, with some reviewers describing the resolution as unsatisfying. The Runner is available for streaming on Prime Video.
