Review of The Gambler (1974) by Jordan Hoffman for The Guardian — 23 Nov 2014
This spiral of self-imposed despair feels like part three of a trilogy of American financial darkness after Killing Them Softly and The Counsellor. The Gambler isn’t quite so audience-unfriendly, but those looking for a typical Wahlberg thriller might come away disappointed.
Others looking for a less sure bet might reap the rewards.
