Movie Review by Movie Addict
October 22nd, 2007

I'm addicted to these stars.

Walter Abrams: After the therapy, and the psychiatry, and the meetings, you know what it all comes down to? You're all f*cked up.

Let's face it. If Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey, or Rene Russo are in a film, there is a better than even chance that I will be watching it. I'd say an 80% chance. It is not just their acting abilities, but they usually appear in films that are interesting. Adding Carly Pope, who was in the recently seen 1st to Die, and it was a certainty.

That is true in this case. The film was a fascinating study of addiction. Not just to gambling, but in the case of Jeremy Piven, to self-importance. Or, in the case of Armand Assante, to power. But, piss on him.

This film was a roller-coaster ride all the way and just plain enjoyable.

I really like this one as well, I have watched it probably 15 times or more and everytime it gets a little better. It was a sleeper though, a lot of people have not heard of it much less watched it.

The way I find those little know films is by searching for actor's other works after I have seen them in something else. In this case Carly Pope. I knew nothing about her before I saw 1st to Die, and I liked her. She only had a small role in this film.
