Kim Basinger gives one of her strongest performances in Even Money, a kind of "Crash" fueled by gambling instead of racism.
By Kyle Smith FULL REVIEW
42
An overstructured, overacted indie drama about gambling, addiction, and the sawdusty romanticism of old-time magicians.
By Lisa Schwarzbaum FULL REVIEW
40
The film's subject is not race but gambling, yet the cynical message is the same: We're all pathetic.

Standard-issue directorial approach is perfectly in keeping with a script whose natural berth is on the tube.
By Robert Koehler FULL REVIEW

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.
By Jack Mathews FULL REVIEW
30
Overlong and overstuffed with cliches -- the movie doesn't seem to realize how close it comes to comedy.
FULL REVIEW
25
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.
By Maitland McDonagh FULL REVIEW
