Based on actual events, this film stars Phillip Seymor Hoffman as a mid-level bank manager with dishonest access to a huge line of credit
at the bank he works for. He uses the stolen money (over $10 million Canadian) to finance his compulsive gambling habit, much to the delight of Atlantic City casino executive John Hurt and to the chagrin of long suffering girlfriend Minnie Driver (virtually ubrecognizable in a horrid blond wig). The film is very deliberately paced but always enjoyable. The DVD is anamorphic with a simply terrific Dolby Digital sound track. Recommended.
