I found this film very, very good and being a gambler myself could relate to the central character. James Caan is brilliant as always. The film keeps simmering on until a quite dramatic ending where Axel goes to seek thrills that even gambling cannot provide him with.
A fine, realist film for all, but gamblers, quite bad gamblers at that, will find to be particularly interesting.
