This is one of the best best films I have seen in 2005 but unfortunately most viewers will never see it. It is not "big", or flashy. It does not have any "stars" but it is skillfully put together. All of the components, acting, directing, cinematography and editing make this a movie well worth the effort it will take to find it. It is based on a play, it happens in real time, in a Video Poker bar and is a very sad commentary on gambling and the toll it takes on those unable to control it. It is entertaining and disturbing. I live in Las Vegas and the character portrayals are real. These people exist. They are your neighbors and friends. With legalized gambling growing everywhere in the US lawmakers should be required to see this film to see the toll gambling can take even when carefully monitored.
