- Synopsis
- Even Money is a ferociously compelling drama that follows the lives of nine individuals as their fates become increasingly entwined in a web of addiction and gambling, culminating at one critical moment where their lives will be lost or reclaimed. In Even Money there are no safe places, no one is left untouched - gamblers are mothers, brothers, dreamers and lovers. As the narrative unravels, we come to understand that addiction has no loyalty to race, age or life circumstances. Addiction is random, wreaking havoc on those individuals who are drawn into its seductive world of quick fixes and escapism, to those unsuspecting souls who are caught in its devastating wake.
- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Standard-issue directorial approach is perfectly in keeping with a script whose natural berth is on the tube."
-
"An overstructured, overacted indie drama about gambling, addiction, and the sawdusty romanticism of old-time magicians."
-
"The problem with ensemble films, and this one in particular, is that they often flit instead of float between story arcs"
-
"Overlong and overstuffed with cliches -- the movie doesn't seem to realize how close it comes to comedy."
-
"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."
-
"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."
