Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Hollywood old-stager Brooks' last completed feature to date (1996) is an old-fashioned and numbingly predicable problem pic of the kind that he used to do rather better (The Blackboard Jungle, for instance). Here the horror of gambling comes under the microscope as ace reporter O'Neal sets out to write an exposé of Las Vegas, but (surprise, surprise) ends up a slave to the gaming table.
