    It's a Gamble with Minimal Payoff
    American ex-con and illegal gambling boss has jumped the pond over the England to escape his tainted past and get accepted into society. Played by Dane Cook he's an alright guy but for me lacks the charisma that would have two dames fighting over him. The female co-leads played by Bryon and Chance are individually kind of interesting characters but the struggle between them is never really developed, outside on one juicy, near catfight scene, they are both wasted in this uninspired script. Too much time is wasted on the relationships between Cook and his two sidekicks, who are both completely uninteresting and don't add all that much to the film. It's a shame because all the elements are here for something much more that what is delivered.
