Jim Bennett, is a risk taker. He is a professor leading a double life as a high-stakes gambler. When he borrows money from dangerous gangsters, he places the lives of his loved ones in mortal danger and must risk everything to keep from losing it all. Always one step ahead, Bennett pits his creditor against the operator of a gambling ring and leaves his dysfunctional relationship with his wealthy mother in his wake. He plays both sides, immersing himself in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank, a loan shark with a paternal interest in Bennett's future.

CRITICS OF "The Gambler"

The Film Stage

Watchable scene-to-scene as an old-fashioned character study.

February 25, 2016

Resource

Chicago Reader

Though Wahlberg is a fine actor, there's no way I can buy him as a college English professor holding forth on Shakespeare and Camus.

January 07, 2015

Resource

Epoch Times

Some casting decisions should never happen-Shaq as Tinkerbell-hmm... actually that might be fantastic, scratch that. But Mark Wahlberg as a professor of literature? Just no.

June 11, 2016

Resource

Boston Globe

It's just like the Kenny Rogers song says: "You've got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em." It's time for this "Gambler" to walk away.

December 26, 2014

Resource

Cinemixtape

This remake not only fails to justify its own existence, it very nearly calls into question the necessity of the material in any form.

April 12, 2016

Resource

Flavorwire

'The Gambler' is just shy of a great movie - it doesn't quite add up like it should - but it is a reminder that there's a very fine actor lurking in Mark Wahlberg.

Movie Habit

A lame remake of the 1974 original, this Gamble doesn't pay off

June 12, 2015

Resource

Movie Talk

Mark Wahlberg is intense and compelling... but his character's self-destructive behaviour strains the viewer's sympathy almost as much as it strains that of the people around him.

June 27, 2015

Resource

Salon.com

An agreeable if ridiculous slice of old-school Hollywood machismo ...

December 26, 2014

Resource

Grantland

The dialogue never leaves the surface and the running across Los Angeles that happens in the last sequence is supposed to thrill you, but it's such a cliché that your embarrassment extends to the crew member who has to follow with the camera.

January 09, 2015

Resource

Rolling Stone

The hopeful ending comes off as too little, too late. Wahlberg gives the role his all, but sticking with him is a futile gesture. The Gambler never pays off. It's a sucker's bet.

December 30, 2014

Resource

New York Magazine/Vulture

As The Gambler becomes less about its protagonist's dashed intellectualism and more about the gathering danger of his predicament, the film gains power.
