The Player

| 21 November 2009 (USA)

Documentary maker John Appel made a film about gambling, winning and losing, based on the the memories of his father. Appel relates anecdotes to characterize his father and shed light on the events that led to his downfall. In between, we visit the horse races, where we meet an extremely good-humored bookie named Harry. Appel delves artistically into the mysterious mind of his father, who was not just a gambler, but a player of life.

Sadly Over-hyped

It is a performances centric movie

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
