I saw the Gambler. Didn’t like the excessive profanity. It could have delved into sex and nudity, but chose not to, except for one very brief scene of a stripper, which had a purpose other than to show strippers.

The preview was the exact opposite of what the previews suggested. I was expecting like Oceans 11 or a gangster movie. Nah, it was about whether a seriously depressed dirtbag with a gambling problem could change and avoid being cut to pieces by all the people he owes money too.

It was a great film

Whoops! I said “the preview... preview,” I meant “The movie... preview.” The preview for the gambler made the movie look like a freaking action drama. Even had music for it. The entire mood of the movie encouraged contemplation, actually.
