The Gambler; a review.

It's a new release starring Mark Walberg, John Goodman, Michael Williams and more.

Mark Wahlberg plays Jim Bennett, a college professor who is the dumbest character in the movie. The three loan sharks in the movie are far more intelligent that he was. Even the non-speaking thugs are smarter than Bennett.

It's probably one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time. From a non-filmista view, the story was fucking pointless. Apparently, it's a remake of a 1974 original that was equally stupid. This movie is one that the stars might look at and ask them sevleves: "Am I getting the money up front?"

This is a movie that you should wait to see until it either plays on cable or you can rent it for a buck.
