• Quite a disillusioning film
  A small film on gambling. It does not really bring anything about gambling itself as an addiction, as a total lack of judgment and reason. And the end of the film is both a total illusion because you never really win in gambling because winning is only there to make you lose even more, and a fatal last move that announces the final descent into hell, a hell that is named Las Vegas.

Performances are solid with Damon and Norton keeping you interested all the way till the end. Good film.
