Dammmm I wanted to turn it off 20 minutes in. At 30 minutes in. I was getting agida.. And was barreling through.. at 40 mins, I turned it off. Ugh...
What upset me (no spoiler) was his 1000% complete disregard for any gambling sense..
He was crossing so many lines just in the first 30... it irritated the fukkkkk out of me...
I guess I need to go back in sigh.... And Push through...

When it ended abruptly, I said out loud, that's it ??? This movie sucked and is a total waste of time.
I didn't and can't find what others found that was enjoyable in this movie.
A degenerate who can't win loses some guys money who went to jail. Somewhere along the way he meets some Spanish girl who isn't hot at all. Gets a job with his brother doing landscaping of which he already owns 1/2 the company through his dads will. His GA sponsor tells him about some big stakes poker game and proceeds to lose more of some guys money but by some miracle wins it all back on ONE hand and then some. Oh wait then the heart attack that has him in the hospital for 3 minutes, he leaves then he finally meets Spanish girls mom and kid at her house for dinner and movie ends.
That's pretty much the gist of the movie.
There is very little gambling shown in this movie, 3 or 4 random horse race wire shots, a few hands of black jack and a few games of poker all shown in some office building and an appliance store.
We could get guys from this forum and follow them around a real casino and make a movie 10,000 times better and more interesting than this movie.
It totally sucked, it was boring and there was absolutely no build up or payoff. Fluff, filler and a bra shot, big flipping woop to doo. I won't even mention the horrible karaoke part. They showed more of that, than actual gambling.
If anything else in this movie they made a mockery of GA.
2 thumbs down and don't waste your time.

THIS^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
and I say it every fkn time a "gambling" movie comes out,,
The best one Ive ever seen, which was totally ok,,, but at least fkn interesting,, was the one with Bruce willis, and how he mentored the hot chick who was a math genius,,,
that was at least credible, (a true story i believe), and had some teeth to it,,, LAY THE FAVORITE???
jeeeezus, is it really that fkn hard?
