Description:
A story about breaking the rules, beating the odds and realizing the only game that's being played is you. Edward is a compulsive gambler who's lost everything and is forced to work as a numbers runner for "Deepthroat," a sadistic sociopath and big time professional gambler. From his high tech sanctuary, Deepthroat takes perverse pleasure in putting Edward to the test--waiting for him to slip up and checking for every dollar. Edward tries to start a new life with his beautiful girlfriend, but when some money goes missing, Deepthroat wants his payback, and one last desperate gamble on human nature will decide their futures.

This picture gives a good job at showing us the desperation that the compulsive gambler can be surrounded by. Casinos would not necessarily like this film, because they may see it as "negative." Pretty good story line, but a little bit too predictable.
John Goodman gives a chilling performance as a mafia gambling higher-up. He has the evil down pretty well.

I happened across this movie the other night at my local pawnshop, and thought I would give it a try.

All the other viewers have given the sypnosis of the movie, so I'm not going to summerize it. If you like intense stories and deep character development, this movie is well worth watching. There are moments that I just had to hold my breath ... and the ending is terrific too... it just doesn't leave you with a confusing ending where you're left wondering what on earth is going on...

Meandering around in his warehouse like abode, John Goodman as "Deepthroat" exudes a sedentary and malevolent evil that forms the foundation for this well written, if inconsequential, movie. Ron Eldard stars as Edward, a man with a gambling addiction, who takes his uncle's (Joe Mantegna) advice to work as a runner for Goodman. During this time, he meets a waitress named Corinna (played well by Courteney Cox), falls in love and decides to go straight and give up his addiction. Sorry, Ron. It doesn't ... Read More

This movie was pretty good. Realistic in a sense. I should know, I gamble a lot on sports. I think i might even be considered to have a problem with gambling. Oh well. Anyway, i dont think this movie is worth buying. just rent it.
