"We can't lose." Gerry (Mendelsohn) is a down on his luck gambler and is in danger of losing everything. Just when he thinks he hits rock bottom he meets Curtis (Reynolds) and his luck begins to change. Faced with debts he can't pay back Gerry convinces Curtis to bankroll him during a road trip in order to win back his life. Along the way Gerry's luck again starts to change and he keeps digging himself into a deeper and deeper hole. Even though this is basically like all the other gambling movies that have come out lately I really enjoyed this one. Ryan Reynolds is a great choice as the smooth talking good luck charm and Mendelsohn plays the part of an on the edge addict that you feel sorry for and are angry at at the same time. That is a hard thing to pull off. The movie does keep you wondering what is going to happen and what Curtis' angle in this is. The entire movie leaves you feeling conflicted and you are never sure if you are happy for the characters or angry at them. That adds an extra dimension to the film that really helps it. Overall, a very good movie that gets better the more you watch. I did like this quite a bit. I give it a B.
