Critic Reviews for The Gambler
All Critics (7) | Top Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (6) | DVD (4)
There seems to be a lot missing in this shortened telling of the story within a story for it to be more than moderately effective.

Makes little to no sense at all
March 27, 2002 | Rating: 1.5/5
A polished but superficial period drama that fails to illuminate what could have been an involving story.
