This is one of my top movies for 2003 (so far). Hoffman's performance is brilliant, because, while there have been many gambling movies that focus on the appeal of gambling, the excitement, the lure of riches, and the lights, this is one of the only gambling movies I can recall that is only about the gambler, and not the games.Hoffman's performance hits exactly the right note. Note that Hoffman's performance is the same key, whether he wins or looses. Winning simply means that he has more time on the tables. Also, note how the colors are subdued, as though the film makers did not want the lights and sounds to distract from the task at hand, which is to focus on the subject, the gambler.
