Review of The Gambler (2014) by Chicofilmguy — 25 Dec 2014
This is one of those scripts that was probably better on paper for on the screen. The movie is a slow slog through a convoluted plot involving a college English professor who is a compulsive gambler with a $260,000 debt to mobsters he has to pay off in seven days or suffer fatal consequences to himself and his mother.
The lengthy dialog scenes take place in various underworld hangouts that only a movie art director could imagine. The cinematography, editing and music contribute little of value to the screen action.
The result is an instantly forgettable movie not worth watching for free.
