Gambling is a very touchy subject for me but this film is based on fact and with good acting although hard for me to watch,it rings very true.Released in 2003 and running 104 minutes the only reason to take 1 star off was the subject itself.Not for everyone.Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Dan Mahowny as everyman.Not good looking but just smart enough to feed his bad habit of betting by bank fraud.The rest of the cast is ok but not really important as it's the story of Dan's self destruction. Trailer URL follows the pix and a IMDB summary is directly below.I don't think I can watch it again……
Dan Mahowny was a rising star at the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce. At twenty-four he was assistant manager of a major branch in the heart of Toronto's financial district. To his colleagues he was a workaholic. To his customers, he was astute, decisive and helpful. To his friends, he was a quiet, but humorous man who enjoyed watching sports on television. To his girlfriend, he was shy but engaging. None of them knew the other side of Dan Mahowny--the side that executed the largest single-handed bank fraud in Canadian history, grossing over $10 million in eighteen months to feed his gambling obsession.
