I watched this movie thinking it was going to be a classic story of a gambler who takes apart the casinos in Las Vegas. Boy, was I wrong!
What a downer movie this was. And I kept watching, thinking there would be vindication at the end - but instead of getting better, it was worse!
And strangely, I liked the ending - which, made me feel that much worse about myself.
On the other hand, I believe when art invokes strong emotion, good or bad, that art must be very good. So, I suppose this movie is good for making me feel like a terrible dirty old man...
