Another case of getting "plot committed", even though I have been wanting to see that flick ever since I started playing poker :P. Been told a couple times that it was a must see "if I like movies and poker"... and cannot for the life of me help myself saying "People insist on calling it luck", lol.
The flick has nothing, NOTHING to do with poker... It's all about this compulsive pathological fish of a gambler, who uses his position as an account manager in a Canadian bank to pull a 10-million dollar fraud, pissing it all away in Atlantic City. Pretty decent drama flirting just enough with the expected cliches, held up by a Philip Seymour Hoffman who simply cannot seem to misinterpret any role he takes on. Oh, and John Hurt, in a Machiavellian casino manager... Priceless.
Note: ~4.2.
