Even Money

"Even Money" is another one of those movies where 400 different storylines share a common theme and intersect in ways that make no sense to the plot, and only exist so that the wives in the audience can turn to their poor bastard husbands and whisper "Hey look! It's that guy from that other story!" This time around the plot focuses on the negative effect that compulsive gambling has on the lives of gamblers and the people around them.

I expect this to go just like "Crash" did. It has a great cast (Forrest Whitaker, Ray Liotta, Kim Basinger, Jay Mohr, Tim Roth, Nick Cannon, Danny Devito, Kelsey Grammer, Carla Gugino) that will star in a lumbering, heavy-handed moral drama that will go on to win lots of awards despite not actually being as good as everyone says it is. Just like "Crash."
