Richie is seduced by Block's promise of immense wealth, until he learns the disturbing truth about his benefactor. When the FBI tries to coerce Richie to help bring down Block, Richie faces his biggest gamble ever: attempting to outmaneuver the two forces closing in on him
Likes : This is your typical average thriller which to be honest I wouldn't be in a rush to get out to watch but is still worth watching. It take you into the life of a physics student who is struggling to pay he bill's for his university course that get himself involved in the dark gritty world of corrupt gamble ring's, party's & beautiful woman living the high life in a dangerous way.
Ben Affleck tries to pull off this dangerous corrupt gamble ring businessman which he does pretty well in his own way as an actor but he just comes across a little too tame for a mafia type boss. Justin Timberlake once again show just how much of a good actor he is as well as a singer as he pulls this performance as a student struggle to make money who gets pulled in to this darker side of the gambling world. Gemma Arterton yet again bring an outstanding performance as ben aflecks character Ivan Block's right hand woman who falls for Richie Furst (Justin) after seeing what's going on with ivan, she serious looks sexy & beautiful in this film as always.
This film dose have it's moments when it get a little exciting but its not as fast paced as most thriller are but it set with a tone that really dose show a dark gritty world of corrupt gambling & gamble ring's where anyone with power & money can buy off anyone or find a way to control you. Like I said its worth watching but I wouldn't be to excite to rush out to see it as its just an average thriller.
Dislikes : Just the fact it gets a little slow through most of the film.
Overall : A good look into the corrupt world of gamble, average thriller not a bad film.
Rating: 3.6 out of 5 for entertainment / 6.0 out of 10 for storyline
