"Runner Runner" is a pretty bad film. Like a USA network film. though I was glad that my wife picked it as a mutually agreeable movie , instead of the typical fair.

Well, hie thee to Google Video, where "Sweetwater" is available right now! Apparently it's getting a very limited theatrical release.

[The Third Man]

Haven't seen the original, but the 2012 remake of Maniac is pretty rad. I'm always wary of movies with such a prominent gimmick - in this case, having the entire film shot in first-person perspective from the POV of the killer - but it's shockingly effective at pulling this off, with only a few breaks from the style (and the requisite mirror shots of Elijah Wood), mainly because the staging and camerawork are working on such a high-level. It's grimy in a very 80s way (an impression further fostered by the synth-heavy soundtrack and this rad song over the end credits), with very brutal and uncomfortable violence. It's very much a companion piece to something like Peeping Tom (even setting aside what an enormous influence that film has over horror in general and specifically slashers). It's also really no-nonsense, clocking in at 88 minutes and wasting no time at all in establishing its premise or diving headfirst into what a sick bastard the title character is. There are occasional clumsy elements - a couple of niggling plot points that feel less-than-organic, rather generic "sexually-repressed-child-becomes-adult-sicko" pop-psych backstory complete with sometimes goofy flashbacks, et al - but I really dug it on the whole. It's also rather brazen in a good way with nodding to its influences - I had to laugh when "Goodbye Horses" played during an early scene in one of his victims' apartments, and then a couple of minutes later staged a bedroom-ceiling mirror shot straight out of Basic Instinct in the very same scene.
