The Secret Runners

Just a tad slow getting to the main plot, but the writing does move quickly and strong character development is the result of said pace. Does a very good job painting the picture of the rich lifestyle and some decent commentary on the privileged, while also having a clear feeling that it takes place in the heart of New York. The dynamics of the tunnel are well flushed out and the impact of what is seen on the other side is layered in and built piece by piece very nicely. Some of the elements in the third act did have a tinge of ‘Mean Girls' to them and and the motivations eventually revealed were a bit undercooked or adolescent, but a well written and action-oriented ending lands well.
