Rented and watched this last night.

Have to agree with Jack, worth sitting thru, but really didnt do too much for me. The format 'interview' style was strained by increasingly going back and forth for little to no apparant reason. Character development was lacking on almost every front. Friends, family, enemies came and went in and out with one dimension.


He sure has a helluva story to tell, and Im 100% sure the book will put the movie to shame. Almost always does.

was disappointed in the movie. I thought it should have showed more about his card playing talents. He was a true gambler hooked on gambling. He cared about nothing, but the action.
