I've known gamblers like the Ray Liotta character in this film, those who crave action more than they like winning. Harry Collins at least realizes this about himself, whereas my acquaintances do not. There is some real humor to be dredged in this movie, among all of the truly evil conduct. It had reasonable production values, and a well-known cast, as if no one knew going in that it would end up direct-to-video. Kudos to much of the cast for making it all at least semi-believable. This includes Liotta, Anthony LaPaglia, whichever minor Baldwin brother this was, Brittany Murphy, and Angelica Huston. I will say one thing for it, I was almost never bored with it, and did want to find out what happened. Check it out.
