Sad gambler drifting through smoke, debt, and denial. Quiet, heavy, human.
Fun visually. A little over the top at times.
Looks great and amazing performances, a little repetitive and has some weird plot conveniences, but overall very entertaining
big performances, great cinematography, inventive, unique, style & good storytelling, down to little details. predictable twist but loved it
The Gamble of the Century, A Desperate Journey Done Brilliantly 10/10
Don't mind the critics, it's a beautifully crafted tale of desperation & ego. It makes you feel the thrill, highs and lows of gambling.
Bold and colourful "Wes Andersony" visuals and an all in performance by Farrell.The setting was perfect.Macau is beautifully depicted!
I think Colin Farrell did a great job, but I didn't really like the movie overall.
Excellent grasp of color and location throughout the filming process plus some good performances that keep you engaged. That’s kind of it.
Fun vibe, cool main character, loved the touch of "fantasy," but the other characters were forgettable, to be realistic
