Synopsis Lit professor and gambler Jim Bennett's debt causes him to borrow money from his mother and a loan shark. Further complicating his situation is his relationship with one of his students. Will Bennett risk his life for a second chance?

Jim Bennett is a risk taker. Both an English professor and a high-stakes gambler, Bennett bets it all when he borrows from a gangster and offers his own life as collateral. Always one step ahead, Bennett pits his creditor against the operator of a gambling ring and leaves his dysfunctional relationship with his wealthy mother in his wake. He plays both sides, immersing himself in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank, a loan shark with a paternal interest in Bennett's future. As his relationship with a student deepens, Bennett must take the ultimate risk for a second chance. Downloaded 452499 times 3/31/2015 2:17:20 PM. Reviewed by Wendy Weist 9 This movie is about a man who has given up hope on achieving his dreams and is trying to make his pain stop by engaging in self destructive behavior.

His weapon of choice is gambling but he is not a gambler. The Klan Unmasked Ebook Login more. He says so multiple times. I have read the many negative reviews of this movie and I think people are really just missing the point. He wants a real love and something real to do every day and if he achieve anything beyond mediocrity then he would rather be dead. People who can relate with that sentiment will love this movie but perhaps no one else.

If you enjoy a movie that makes you think a little and go beyond what's on the surface. The movie is not about gambling. It is about finding inspiration and hope.

Reviewed by drjgardner 3 Yes this is a gambling film and includes just about every cliche you can think of. No it isn't any good. 2603 Planes Of Chaos Pdf Editor more. Yes Mark Wahlberg plays a gambler.

No he doesn't hit, shoot, stab, or otherwise assault anyone. Yes the film has several excellent co-stars like George Kennedy, Andre Braugher, and Richard Schiff. No you won't see very much of them and if you sneeze you may miss them. Yes there is some romance. No it doesn't work with a girl who is half Wahlberg's age. Yes it's great to see John Goodman in a meaty role.

No he isn't going to play Jabba the Hut in the next Star Wars release. Yes I did stay for the entire movie hoping that the final scene would somehow raise the stature of the film. No it didn't. Reviewed by nysalesman 1 I never thought I would see the day when Mark Walberg appeared in a bad movie. Of course the usual clueless eggheads and elitist wannabes had to give it rave reviews because, in their minds, some jittery screen effects made a boring, classless movie 'artsy.'

The movie was boring, the dialog was inconsequential and dragged out, and there was no plot or theme. The characters, including the main character, were not developed at all and the romantic interest was basically a one night stand that at the end of the movie was made out to be Romeo and Juliet.

By the end of the movie and the so called 'surprise twist' I couldn't care less about whether Walberg's character won or lost, lived or died. The only redemption was the superb acting by Walberg and Goodman, but they didn't come anywhere close to saving this movie. It was simple boring and nonsensical. I'm glad that I saw this on 12/31/14, because if I had seen it a day later, then it would have ruined the New Year for me. Now I understand why people pirate movies. After getting their pockets picked by movies like this, it is only right that they would look to pick the pocket of Hollywood right back. Do yourself a favor and see any other movie.
