Looking to this film for entertainment is like looking in your fridge to satisfy your hunger and finding half of a pizza covered with black mold. The acting, editing, and cinematography are great but the story is crappy and pathetic. The only redeeming character in the film is the gambler's mother who is anguishing over her son's bankrupt character. The movie leaves you feeling very morose. Watch Fat City instead.
