Certainly no one who ever saw the original will ever forget Caan being treated to witness a deadbeat-drubbing. Quite chilling indeed.

Another film on gambling addiction worth watching is "Owning Mahowney" with Philip Seymour Hoffman's usual perfect acting. It's a true story. The book on which it's based, "Stung" by Gary Ross, is among the best-written non-fiction works I have ever read.

As a reprieve, watch the Croupier - a very fine European flick. nt - Victor Khomenko 05:47:05 12/30/14 (1)
