It's a tiresome tale of a guy with a gambling addiction. It takes us over 2 hours to get through this story of one man's selfish life that's full of people who either don't like him or take little real interest in him. It's neither a great nor endearing story. I can't think of a single likable character in the movie and I found that I didn't care what happened next. I was glad when it was over. I kept waiting for a magic moment but there was none.
