Plot:
Jake Johnson (New Girl) stars as small time gambler Eddie Garrett, who agrees to watch a duffel bag for an acquaintance who is heading to prison. When he discovers cash in the bag, he’s unable to resist the temptation and winds up deeply in debt. When the prison release is shortened, Eddie suddenly has a small window of time to win all the money back.
Review:
Rating: [Watch it] / It depends / Skip it
- This feels like an older movie, from the tone to the ever present film
grain. This isn't a film about another degenerate gambler. Eddie makes a
big mistake which causes him to fix it by changing his life for the
better. Of course stealing money always has consequences, and the movie
provides the chance to guess at what will happen rather than making it
obvious.
Johnson does a solid job, but the ending undercuts the movie. I enjoyed the movie and the conclusion could have pushed me even farther into liking this, instead I'm left wondering what the ending should have been.
