Audience Member Good actors work Basinger, DeVito and Whitaker... Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Smartly written, empathetic and backed up with a fascinating social-minded viewpoint, Even Money delivers a darkly gripping perspective on the unnerving side effects of gambling that really works thanks to its emotionally moving score and solidly talented cast who portray their characters with honesty and sympathetic tenderness. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the worst movie I've ever seen. What a waste of talent. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member money, money, money, sports. an all-star cast that couldnt do much because no one got enough time. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie caught my attention due to the rather impressive cast, though names like Forest Whitaker, Danny DeVito and Kim Basinger aren't exactly top billing these days. Speaking of which - was has happened to Forest Whitaker recently? From the Last King of Scotland, to this? "Godfrey Snow!" "God-freeeeeeeee!" Seriously, enough already Forest! Sorry, but I thought this movie was deplorable. The cast, whilst mostly big names, are nothing more than average in the end. There might be a solid performance amongst the lost of them, but for the life of me I can't find it. Perhaps Ray Liotta and even DeVito deserved pass marks - but otherwise, there wasn't a winner to be found in my opinion. The basketball scenes were poorly done. One of my major pet peeves is sports scenes in movies appearing fake - and this had fake and unbelievable written all over the court. I found no sense of realism whatsoever from any of the key basketball moments - not even from the announcer. I also find it difficult to believe Forest Whitaker could wander into a NCAA level championship game through an unlocked side entrance at one end of the court without any ticket required? Bizarre. Kelsey Grammer was not seen too much, as the detective. I didn't like the fact he had the walking sticks - I just didn't think it was needed. Kim Basinger was what I would call "over the top" in her role as the gambling addict. Again, I just didn't believe it. All in all, I'd suggest you only watch this movie if you have absolutely nothing better to do. It's from the makers of 'Crash' (or so we're told), but I'm not sure I believe that either. It is so far from 'Crash' (a great movie) that you will wonder whether you're watching a spoof of some sort. Honestly, it's that bad. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This one was a pretty decent movie. I appreciate what Rydell and co. were trying to do here, and it certainly makes you think about the descructive path that gambling can become. Unforunately, the plot struggles to be cohesive, and the actors don't seem particularly convincing or passionate about the characters they are portraying. Those complaints aside, it does make for a solid rent at least. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews
