   GREAT MOVIE. If you’re a gambler or have ever wanted to be, don’t miss this film. It will remind of theose grea film of the seventies, like The Gambler and The Sting but this picture has heart and balls. Chazz Palinteri has never been better and Christine Lathi is in my opinion the greatest actress in the world. This movie will confirm that.
