About this movie

Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg delivers a career-defining performance as Jim Bennett, a brilliant professor leading a secret double life as a high-stakes gambler. When Jim is forced to borrow money from dangerous gangsters, he places the lives of those he loves in mortal danger. With time running out, he must enter the criminal underworld and risk everything to keep from losing it all. John Goodman, Brie Larson and Academy Award-winner Jessica Lange star in the thrilling film critics are calling "gritty, intense and wholly engrossing." *Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood

I fell to sleep on this movie three times. Plz actors and actresses stop wasting our money, because you need a few dollars, better yet stop wasting everyone's time including yours. Now I'm afraid to spend money on your next movie, that you headline.Thank God I didn't pay this go around.

Characters can take us places that we've never been, while caricatures are an exaggerated reminder of places we've already seen. Wahlberg's portrait of Jim Bennett is nothing more than a ridiculous distortion. I wanted to like it, but the philosophical gimmicks kept getting in the way. Wardrobe is cool and the score is great, so there's that.

This movie was horrible. This is the movie that should move foreign nations to act out. The dialogue was meandering. Nothing about the main character rang true. Probably because he can't really act. None of the relationships were compelling. It was simply nonsense
