A lot of the movie run time is devoted to building up the main character addiction to gambling, his superstitions, and his daily life with Arizona. Its a memorable film but lacks the strength to actually call this film good.

Well structured with some unique dynamics involved, but maybe a couple too many. Alot goes on in this, which naturally causes focus problems for some viewers... and explains while I didn't hear about it until now. At least they avoided flash forwards and flashbacks.

Danny Cannon's film noir features an impressive cast but nothing new, storywise.

Watchable B-movie. Has many holes in its storyline but given the b-rate cast this is to be expected. Watch it without too much expectation/hope for it and you will enjoy it best. Ray Liotta gives a decent performance.
