Bewertung von Brian-71
When is somebody going to make a realistic film about bookies? Not these people, that's for sure. There are so many "goofs" in this film it's hard to know where to start. My favorite is when one of the girls wakes up, dials the phone and gets last night's basketball scores from a live person. Where does this service exist? I'd sure like to know about it.
The only film I've ever seen that accurately represents gambling is "The Gambler," with James Caan; but that's only from the gambler's perspective. The bookies in that film are totally unrealistic, too.
Filmmakers constantly misrepresent bookies -- a typical misrepresentation is from the film "Honeymoon in Vegas," when a bookie is walking across a city street and someone asks him, "Hey Blackie (or some such typical Hollywood bookie name), what do you got on Georgetown?" "Three," the bookie replies (how would he know, with lines changing by the second?). "Hey, it's only two downtown," the bettor says. "Then make the bet downtown!"
This film places unbelievable characters in unrealistic situations. A sure hit on network prime time TV, but not for a motion picture. Probably the worst film of 1996.
