I think the movie is a step in the right direction for the US gambling market. Maybe some us casinos (list here: http://bit.ly/19M1JMD ) get regulated soon.

Overall, I thought the film was good, but they cut too much out, especially in the Princeton scenes at the beginning. I felt the relationship between Richie and his father wasn't developed enough. They obviously chopped most of their conversation in the bar. We should have seen some more emotion between them. Also, the campus director had insufficient proof that Richie's involvement in gambling was illegal. Later on in the film, the FBI agent said he had a sworn statement, which didn't seem like much of a case, but that all should have been set up better at the beginning. The online poker tournament scene seemed rushed and underplayed, too. Too many character beats were missing in favor of atmosphere.

I very much wanted to like it, Ben playing a villian role is very interesting just the movies script was awful. I understand why Ben did it though. He's very big into gambling so I guess this was just a fun silly movie he threw himself into before a couple years of serious work. I hope he plays a villian again soon though.

Where are you getting FOX as part of this? WB owns DC Comics and have always produced and distributed their own comic movies. FOX had Daredevil, whose rights they have let lapse, and X-Men. Batman vs Superman is very much Warner Bros.

Goldenberg only edited "Gone Baby Gone" and "Argo" for Affleck. Dylan Tichenor edited "The Town". Fact check.

It wasnt bad and was made well…just wasnt good enough to be above average. Justin Timberlakes the star of it for christ sake. Im sure no one expected oscars.

It's like two days after release & Runner, Runner is already a faint memory.
