Gal Gadot's new thriller movie on Prime Video, The Runner, is making its way to streaming success, but its audience verdict has not yielded the same results. Gadot is a major star, having taken part in some of the biggest movie franchises of all time. The actress will forever be tied to the Wonder Woman role, even if Gadot recently confirmed to ScreenRant that she is not coming back as Diana Prince in James Gunn's new DC Universe. While Andor star Adria Arjona is heavily rumored to play Diana in the Superman sequel Man of Tomorrow, then leading DC's planned Wonder Woman reboot movie, Gadot is doing well for herself with a new hit movie on Prime Video. However, streaming success does not always equal a positive reception. On Rotten Tomatoes, Prime Video's The Runner has crashed with a low 31% audience score at the time of writing. The thriller debuted on Prime Video on September 2, and it did not land well with critics. The Runner scored an even lower 9% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes based on 35 reviews, making it one of the movies to receive the negative Rotten status on the review aggregator. The Runner had already given Gadot a disappointing record, standing as her lowest RT critics' score. Now at 31% with viewers, the Prime Video thriller also holds the record for Gadot's worst audience score. Amazon MGM Studios In ScreenRant's The Runner review, critic Alex Harrison gave Gadot's new Prime Video thriller a 4 out of 10 score, adding to the movie's many negative reviews. According to the writer, "Gal Gadot's Prime Video thriller underwhelms." Out of The Runner's 35 reviews logged on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of writing, only 3 of them are positive, with the vast majority, 32, being negative. As such, The Runner is not one of the cases where critics and viewers disagree on Rotten Tomatoes, with both not currently thinking highly of the new action thriller. Despite its negative reception from critics and viewers alike, The Runner has become a global streaming sensation. Right now, it is the most-watched movie on Prime Video worldwide, according to FlixPatrol. The Runner leaves behind movies like the recent Prime Video original romance The Last Sunrise, which was previously at 1st, Ryan Gosling's Project Hail Mary, Guy Ritchie's In the Grey, Aaron Taylor-Johnson's Fuze, the fantasy epic Masters of the Universe, and more on the streaming service's global charts. Gadot's The Runner is trending on Prime Video in 51 countries, ranking #1 in 39, which includes the United States. The Runner's negative critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes cements a streak for the actress in the past couple of years. The Runner is officially the third movie Gadot stars in between 2025 and 2026 to land a negative critics' score. At 9%, it ranks lower than In The Hand Of Dante's 29% and the live-action Snow White's 39%. As for how their audience scores compare, Snow White is the only Fresh movie, at 69%, with In The Hand Of Dante at 41%, and The Runner at 31%. Still, the Prime Video thriller's global streaming success accomplishes what The Runner set out to do.
