The Devil's Bookie

Rating: 5/10 (3 January 2006)

This flick is the bad version of The Devil's Advocate; making lots of money and success in The Big Apple for some man doing dubious business (Pacino; great of course).
The story makes no sense at all: if this guy is so good in predicting sports results: than do it your self and make a lot more money. That was what it was all about, wasn't it? No... They let people pay a lot of money to give them the predictions by phone.
Acting was'n bad though; neither sound, camera etc. It lacks originality; we've all seen the dark side of gambling and success stories. Some kissing with the Bosses wife.. et voila!
