    This wasn't necessarily that bad. I think its worth a watch.

    I like Mark Whalburg but his character is incredibly dumb. Who'd ever trust him or give him any money?!? Didn't even finish the movie. It was a waste after he looses all his money for the 3rd time halfway throu. Screw this movie. Grow up and stop being a child and leave the casino. Stop making excuses for your life.
  • Worth a rental ...

    Not sure I trust the Rotten Tomatoes rating becuase this is a decent flick. Not great, but certainly worth a rental. Characters are well developed, no obvious plot-holes other than the flood of the house (a dream?). Realistic enough to be believable. Good cast of characters, good performance by Wahlberg. The "tennis star" guy was pretty weak in the role, totally not believable. Other than that, though, it's decent. Definitely better than average.
  • Oh my lord… This is boring...

    This movie is going to my most boring movies list. Way more boring than Antz and The Ring Virus I watched before. In fact I remember seeing this at movies on December 28th 2014, thank god I went alone and not with friends. If I went with friends they would have been so mad at me… Not to mention behind me I over heard a love couple and the wife said to his husband “See! I told you we should have seen Annie!”. #1 Boring movie of 2014… That’s all I can say.

    This was one of those movies I was a bit hesitant on even renting but, I was bored as hell and I thought... "sure... why not." I have to say, I was surprised at how much I actually liked it. It's not some action flick but, a solid story and worth the rental in my opinion.

    This movie is terrible. Don't waste your time or your money. The writing is bad and the acting is worse, with 2 exceptions. Brie Larson and John Goodman are good. Jessica Lange'd talents are wasted. The movie is written for stupid people so if you are stupid, you may like it.
