Dan Mahowny was a rising star at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. At twenty-four he was assistant manager of a major branch in the heart of Toronto's financial district. To his colleagues he was a workaholic. To his customers, he was astute, decisive and helpful. To his friends, he was a quiet, but humorous man who enjoyed watching sports on television. To his girlfriend, he was shy but engaging. None of them knew the other side of Dan Mahowny--the side that executed the largest single-handed bank fraud in Canadian history, grossing over $10 million in eighteen months to feed his gambling obsession.

31/2* Hoffman MAKES the movie. He was able to find the complexities of a neurotic character. We lost so much when he died. R.I.P.

Hoffman brings complexity and intensity to an underwritten role.

Gripping depiction of gambling addiction with outstanding performance by Hoffman. The psychology of his characterization left me devastated.

A fascinating and detailed portrait of addiction. Great low-key performance from Hoffman. Just solid and entertaining all around.

One of the all time anxiety-inducing gambling films with a masterful performance from Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Philly C Hoff does his magic and nails the thousand yard stare of an addict in the throes of his habit. Fascinating story told modestly.

The true story of a banker stealing millions to fund his gambling addiction

Nothing sadder than seeing people step foot into a casino. Even when you win big, you lose bigger

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is fantastic again. Curse you heroin.

It was slow but good. Wouldn’t recommend some I know to watch it
