This movie scores big with many reviewers, but NOT with me! The movie is considered a crime, drama, mystery.. but it's more like just watching the life of a guy who is an addicted gambler. It's not along the lines of "Scarface" or something with action. It's painfully mundane watching an addict live his life and his lies.

In a big way, I see movies for the fantasy aspect or historical value.. and this was more like watching someone's nightmare.

I was disappointed in the story, though the acting was fine.. and actually very good for Sandler. Sets and scenery were simply New York business buildings.. nothing to write home about.

On a 1 to 10 scale (10 is best), I'd seriously give it a 4. It was NOT painful to watch and experience. Simply an unpleasant movie and story.
