Hazardzista

...Rupert Wyatts (...) genindspilning af Karel Reisz’ ’Hasard’ fra 1974.

...Goodman's extended cameo can sit alongside Ned Beatty's in Network, and his scenes are some of the most exhilarating you'll see in a movie this year.

...even as Jim blows every lifeline he receives, The Gambler keeps its cool; it’s the most casual downward spiral in recent memory. There’s a lot of humor in the character’s incorrigible nonchalance...

Mark Wahlberg klämmer ur exakt allt ur sin livströtte spelmaniker, han gräver sig sakta ner i den enorma tomheten...

...et seværdigt og underholdende drama fra en underside af Los Angeles, som vi sjældent ser skitseret på film.

A rare grown up thriller, full of interesting bits and a strong turn from Wahlberg.
