United States	David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A meandering road movie enriched by its fine-grained study of character and milieu, but somewhat lethargic and momentum-deprived in terms of narrative"	NEU
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Gambling tales are a hard sell. But this one is on a lucky streak. Great performances from Ryan Reynolds and Ben Mendelsohn. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"There is (...) a two-handed demonstration of actorly skill."	POS

United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Superb performances, haunting sense of place and willingness to meander."	POS
