The Gambler Review

Hello and Welcome Reviewers!

Today I’m reviewing The Gambler.

Short Synopsis:

Lit professor and gambler Jim Bennett’s debt causes him to borrow money from his mother and a loan shark. Further complicating his situation is his relationship with one of his students. Will Bennett risk his life for a second chance?**

Non-Spoiler Review:

The Gambler gives you a very small glimpse of the life of a person with a gambling addiction. Jim Bennett lives two lives, by day a teacher and by night a notorious gambler. If you love movies about poker then this will appeal to you greatly. John Goodman bring an interesting twist as a villain-like character. This movie is filled with some exciting moments and will leave you feeling ok with spending money to see it.

I give this movie a 5.6 out of 10.
