Required viewing for any Gamblers Anonymous member. This movie is depressing almost from the beginning, but it soon becomes nauseating and ultimately almost too horrifying to watch. The fact that it's a true story only makes it that much more difficult. Philip Seymour Hoffman is probably one of the greatest living actors today, and should win an Oscar for his performance. All in good time. See this movie, then scrap your vacation to Vegas, I guarantee you won't want to set foot in another casino as long as you live.
