About this movie

Academy Award® nominee Mark Wahlberg delivers a “career-defining performance” as Jim Bennett, a brilliant professor leading a secret double life as a high-stakes gambler. When Jim is forced to borrow money from dangerous gangsters, he places the lives of those he loves in mortal danger. With time running out, he must enter the criminal underworld and risk everything to keep from losing it all. John Goodman, Brie Larson and Academy Award-winner Jessica Lange star in the thrilling film critics are calling “gritty, intense and wholly engrossing.”* *Scott Mantz, Access Hollywood

A very bad remake of what I think is a classic starring James Caan. Why the producers chose to make this, use the same title, and other stuff from the original, then ruin it in the same way every remade movie gets ruined is beyond me. Avoid if you've seen the original and liked it. Avoid anyway...
