Critic Reviews

Kyle Smith

Kim Basinger gives one of her strongest performances in Even Money, a kind of "Crash" fueled by gambling instead of racism. Read full review

Peter Rainer

As the gambler who needs his basketball phenom brother to shave points, Whitaker has some expressive scenes, and Roth knows how to make malice gleam. But almost nothing else in this movie does. Read full review

Lisa Schwarzbaum

An overstructured, overacted indie drama about gambling, addiction, and the sawdusty romanticism of old-time magicians. Read full review

Ed Gonzalez

The film's subject is not race but gambling, yet the cynical message is the same: We're all pathetic. Read full review

Jack Mathews

Nothing in the movie rings true, least of all its depiction of gambling, both in casinos and in the bookie world that ultimately drives the story. Read full review

John DeFore

Overlong and overstuffed with cliches -- the movie doesn't seem to realize how close it comes to comedy. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Maitland McDonagh

A high-profile cast can't save this multi-narrative drama about gambling addiction from its wildly uneven tone, which veers from high melodrama to hard-boiled pastiche so overwrought that it's unintentionally funny. Read full review

Cant believe the low ratings for this film. This was a great movie, right down to the twist at the end. Highly recommended
