Richard Brody The New Yorker Brooks films the action in sharply defined images with spare and aggressive angles, conjuring the inner howls of conflicting desires tearing Steve and the sordidly glossy milieu apart during even the simplest of events. Oct 17, 2016 Full Review Variety Staff Variety Unfortunately, plot is a totally unconvincing jumble and Ryan O'Neal as a sports reporter hooked on the gambling game is wooden and unsympathetic. Apr 8, 2008 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times The opening segments of the movie are simply odd, distracting and unconvincing. It's the movie's final act that is sick. Rated: 0/4 Apr 8, 2008 Full Review TV Guide It waffles constantly, and we never know if the creators are for or against gambling. Rated: 1/4 Apr 8, 2008 Full Review Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat Spirituality & Practice Fights its own message of gambling as an addiction. Rated: 1/5 Aug 21, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Part of the QT film festival. Alright movie that shows the seedy underside of Las Vegas Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Audience Member :fresh: [font=Arial Black]I thought overall this movie had a little more to offer than the typical romance. It would have been nothing without Jimmy Fallon, who is the next rising comedic actor. Last word.....predictable but charming.;) [/font] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
