Review of The Gambler (2014) by Lvleopard — 25 Apr 2015

This movie was disappointing. 1) I love gambling, 2) I love a good action/suspense/crime story, and 3) mark Wahlberg is often quite tolerable. This move however, has a few terrible flaws: 1) Mark Wahlberg as "literary genius".

... nuff said, 2) there is no discernible ending or "point" to the movie. 3) When someone gambles, he either loses or wins. What does either outcome have to do with character development, message, theme.

so much of the movie is just based on a coin flip. I had high hopes, but it just fell flat.
