New York Post 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 >Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
An overstructured, overacted indie drama about gambling, addiction, and the sawdusty romanticism of old-time magicians.
Read Full Review >Christian Science Monitor 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 >Los Angeles Times 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 >Variety Robert Koehler
Standard-issue directorial approach is perfectly in keeping with a script whose natural berth is on the tube.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Michelle Orange
The problem with ensemble films, and this one in particular, is that they often flit instead of float between story arcs. With deep lags in momentum, it is this lack of cohesion that nearly cancels out what can be great about ensemble films: the performances.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News 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 >The Hollywood Reporter John DeFore
Overlong and overstuffed with cliches -- the movie doesn't seem to realize how close it comes to comedy.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Stephen Holden
A scare movie about gambling addiction, is as grim and lurid as any in the recent spate of films about the evils of crystal meth.
Read Full Review >TV Guide 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.

Cant believe the low ratings for this film. This was a great movie, right down to the twist at the end. Highly recommended
Lawrence M' gave it a7:
Can't understand the critics. This was not a bad movie and the acting was believable.
Eric Y. gave it a2:
We turned it off. Horrible. It wasn't going anywhere.
Gilad E. gave it a2:
One of the worst movies I've ever seen. Name an element of filmmaking - dialogue, acting, plot, cinematography, music - and Even Money ruins it. Totally awful.
