Review of Owning Mahowny (2003) by Jeff N — 25 Apr 2012
Philip Seymour Hoffman and Minnie Driver give painfully depressing, but outstanding, performances in this gritty film based on a true story of a banking executive, responsible and reliable in every way.
..except for a debilitating gambling problem. Dan Mahowny (Hoffman) uses his clout and trust to manipulate the system to keep his addiction going. The movie is hard to watch as the situations are very tense.
The performances and direction are superb, though, engaging the viewer in the first few minutes of the opening scene.
