...away, however, twenties give way to tens, fives and ones. He pulls off all the twenties and most of tens and places them on the felt. Thumbing through the bills, he finds a fifty at the center of the roll and adds it to the pile as an afterthought. Cynthia, the dealer, straightens and sorts the bills, then counts out 10 $25 chips. "Change $250," she says. Ellen, the pit boss, nods in acknowledgement. "Good luck," Cynthia says. The game proceeds...

Jimmy on the other hand is an unwilling captive to these larger affairs, especially more so when...
...Duncan plays the more convincing hitman, probably from having been a bouncer in real life. On the other hand, the women are a real joy in the movie. While not exactly plumbing emotional depths, Natasha Henstridge moves past her Species movies by giving a classic femme fatale treatment of Cynthia (although the viewer is left to wonder why the seduced ends up being Matthew Perry). Amanda Peet too leaves some dubious other film appearances and fills the movie with much needed younger vitality (although the viewer is left too to wonder why the seduced ends up being the much older...
