People sometimes like to gripe that there are no new ideas any more, especially when it comes to movie pitches, and while I think there's plenty out there to disprove that, the big streamers do have a certain predilection for familiar plots. I'm not trying to do The Runner down before it even has a chance, but watch its trailer (released this week) and you'll probably get where I'm coming from.
The film will hit Prime Video on 2 September, starring Gal Gadot as Maia, a successful lawyer gearing up for a massive day in court. She's going to have a wildly unexpected time, though, thanks largely to a remote kidnapper played by Damian Lewis, who's going to be dictating her actions with terrible threats.
