The Gambler Audience Reviews

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
GarnettTeenage The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
GUENOT PHILIPPE A first aid emergency squad member is a compulsive gambler, addictive to all kind of bets. He is also pressed by a brutal loan shark who doesn't hesitate to beat him in order to get his money back. So, our lead decides to organize an undercover bet business, and at a large scale. He and his colleagues - and not only because the business spreads out - set up a big off shore company providing large amounts of money. Big big cash for the gamblers. Their game is nothing less than betting on the possibility for the patients - or victims they rescue - to die or not...In summary, they bet on people's death. Or possible death. An unusual scheme, not for all audiences, but that may sound familiar with another topic which I watched last month: NIGHT CALL, with a scheme nearly like this one. Very inventive. But also very very dark and with a downbeat ending. Typically from Eastern Europe.
markusbucher I watched this movie at the Internationales Fimfestival Heidelberg-Mannheim, Germany. I watched it together with some Lithuanian people. I liked this movie as it is very special.Technically it is done very well. Not too many effects, nice cuts and setting. The plot is okay but the development of the characters is often not clear. Some decisions they make don't seem to make sense. Especially being a father I didn't understand the way, Ieva handles her son's problems. As the ending is in a way open I had to think a lot about it and the whole movie which is good in my opinion.The actors play their roles very good. I am looking forward seeing more of them.
