a film worth betting on

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2006)

Al Pacino's performance is simply marvelous, but this isn't a surprise and the movie would be worth watching only for it. Plus has a strong impact and it's engaging in its understanding what gambling is, how it works and how pervasive it is in America. Apart from the first class cast the plot is fascinating for the stylish way it tells about this damned world where people lose everything counting on illusions. Atmospeheres and circumstances the plot develops in are extremely realistic,a long with the terrible waking-up. Believe Hollywood's idea of making "Two for the money" was good since the audience felt the need of being told about this interesting, though terrible world.
