Folks this movie is a remake of the 1974 The Gambler with James Caan not the 1980 TV movie with Kenny Rogers
My wife and I walked out after 20 minutes. Worst movie of all time.
Lame.
Horrible, boring and long. Don't waste your time.
Very slow movie. Only a few intense moments when the gambling is involved. Won't be watching this one again. Glad it was cheap night at the theatre
we went New Years eve 20 mins into the movie a patron stands up & in a loud voice this is the worst F#$%&king movie i have seen I want my money back & walked out .. shock ..in the end he was right .. .. brutal don't go ..
This will really be a forgettable movie. The script does well to illustrate that Wahlberg's character is a degenerate gambler but doesn't provide enough detail as to how he got to be the way he was or how he ends up clearing his debt.
I found it tiresome, boring, and not worth taking the time to see it. Trite, stereotypical, empty. Do not bother to see it. Weak beginning, weak middle, weak ending. Spend your money on anything else.
For the idiot who thought this was a modern remake of the Kenny Rogers' film, The Gambler, you are obviously very young or just stupid. This is a remake of the James Caan film from the 70's which is set in Chicago. How dumb can you be? Read a book you dumbwit!!!
This was a horrible movie and I couldn't wait for it to end.
