    • Goofs
      When they go to "Puerto Rico" to meet the multi millionaire gambler at his palatial digs it is in fact a waterfront home in West Vancouver, Canada as you can tell by the Coast Mountains and a BC Ferry going by in the background.

    Al Pacino IS this film
    Al Pacino carries this film all by himself.

    I can't think of a way that this could have been made without Pacino. Sure, Matthew McConaughey and Rene Russo gave convincing performances, but Pacino makes you feel sorry for the miserable, empty shell of a man he is.

    The plot was amazingly intricate and well carried, but (once again) without Pacino it would not have been delivered nearly as well. I think that they should have found a way to include a small explanation as to how sports betting works, so the fans who came in just to see Pacino would be able to understand how it works. Also, at times the movie just dragged on and on and on...

    I still think that Al Pacino is that movie. Pacino really extends himself the way he always does to keep the movie alive and moving. His character was one of the most miserable men I have ever seen, and while i hated him, I still identified a small part of myself with him, and that is the sign of a truly great actor.
