saw the sneak preview for it last month here. I heard rumors of it not making it and going straight to DVD. I hope not it is a decent movie but not at all realistic at least in my opinion

Here's the New York Times movie review and the trailer.
It apparently opened on Friday.

Great cast and a decent trailer, but it looks like just another movie that shows the dangers and addictiveness of gambling rather than show the skill, money management, and control that sharps can use to get a small edge...

Just what we need. A movie casting a bad light on sports betting.

Wow, if the movie had that many big names and still almost went straight to DVD, it must really suck.
What a surprise--sports betting is a dirty business?

This is exactly what I thought when I went to the website. Does Basinger get naked? If not, I'll probably skip this one...

It got two big thumbs down from Roeper and the guy guest hosting for Ebert last night. Roeper mentioned it is an early candidate for his worst 10 of the year.
