Synopsis

Literature professor Jim Bennett leads a secret life as a high-stakes gambler. Always a risk-taker, Bennett bets it all when he borrows from a gangster and offers his own life as collateral. Staying one step ahead, he pits his creditor against the operator of an illicit gambling ring while garnering the attention of Frank, a paternalistic loan shark. As his relationship with a student deepens, Bennett must risk everything for a second chance.

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
masonnett This is not a review, only a question. Why the money used in the film is blue ? Is the story supposed to be taking place in Canada ? Well, it's obvious that it's not taking place in Canada.
jaw1907 Great cast, Great cinematography, Great musical score....don't get why this film never received the respect it deserved. Mark, Brie and Goodman at their best.
varun s This film on contrast to the title is not about a gambler but of a man on the path of self destruction due to his personal problems/conflicts.The beauty of the film is the intelligent narration of the film which makes us keep thinking about the movie even after it is over.We need stories like this to understand the complexities of the mind and you need to understand the protagonist to see the beauty of this film.I'll give it an 8/10.
vandenheuvel-69779 If you're expecting anyone to get murdered in this film, you're going to be very disappointed. There's almost no violence which is something i expected after seeing the trailer. i honestly think you could watch the trailer and be more satisfied than actually watching the film. the only good part about the movie was john Goodman. it almost seems like the movie will be good within the first ten minutes but it just goes downhill from there. I expect to see a lot more crime going on when i see a movie like this. HUGE let down. I almost stopped watching but i was sure someone was going to be murdered toward the end. it never happened. it was a waste of two hours. don't watch it.
