Description:
Forest Whitaker, Kim Basinger, Danny Devito, Kelsey Grammer and Ray Liotta star in director Mark Rydell's ensemble addiction drama detailing the manner in which gambling and drugs affect a variety of people's lives during the weeks leading up to a championship college basketball game.
Amazon.com:
The lure of easy cash drives the interlocking storylines of Easy Money, an all-star tale of gamblers, bookies, and gangsters. The movie draws together a blocked novelist addicted to the slots (Kim Basinger, L.A. Confidential), a magician on the skids (Danny DeVito, Get Shorty), a bookie with stress-induced stomach problems (Jay Mohr, Jerry Maguire), a debt-ridden plumber (Forest Whitaker, The Last King of Scotland) who persuades his basketball-playing brother (Nick Cannon, Love Don't Cost a Thing) to shave points, and a gangster by turns mincing and menacing (Tim Roth, Reservoir Dogs). Tying them all together is a murder investigation conducted by a detective on crutches (an unrecognizable Kelsey Grammer, X-Men: The Last Stand). Even Money never achieves the raw, spontaneous energy of a Robert Altman movie (clearly an influence) or the social complexity of Crash (produced by the same company), but individual scenes and actors (particularly Whitaker as he twists his brother's affection to perverse ends) have an impact. Unfortunately, the movie never grips the viewer with the rush of winning or the knife-twist of losing; without that visceral punch, Even Money feels inauthentic and a little preachy. Also featuring Ray Liotta (Goodfellas) as Basinger's long-suffering husband and Carla Gugino (Snake Eyes) as a nurse in love with a brutal debt collector. --Bret Fetzer

Director Mark Rydell received his Best Director nomination for "On Golden Pond." "Even Money" is an interesting character-based story that mixes several disparate elements unevenly.
Kim Basinger, who won an Oscar for "L.A. Confidential" in 1997, plays Carolyn. Carolyn is an author who covers her gambling habit to her family by saying how she's writing her new book. Her husband Tom is played by Ray Liotta who won an Emmy in 2005 for TV's "E.R." Tom follows her, only to discover ... Read More

"I'm not perfect! Nobody's perfect!" That's one of the catchphrases of a gambling addict, and it's an ironic one, for a lot of them chase perfection in their chosen field of wagering. They believe in hot dice, cold cards, and working a certain slot in a certain corner of the casino. Some of them double as drug addicts or alcoholics, but all of them have taken their pursuit for a competitive high into that zone of desperation and fevered, last chance bets - the ones that will square them for good, ...

**1/2
Despite its decidedly un-ambitious nature, "Even Money" is a modern film noir melodrama with more storylines and characters than Robert Altman's "Nashville." Kim Basinger, Danny DeVito, Ray Liotta, Kelsey Grammer, Forest Whitaker, Grant Sullivan, Jay Mohr, and Carla Gugino all play individuals whose only real connection is that they are in some way or another touched by the evils of gambling.
Robert Tannen's overstuffed screenplay wanders all over the map, forcing ... Read More

Over the weekend, I watched Even Money. It reminded me of Crash in terms of how the movie flowed. There were four or five characters. The film revolved around each of their lives. The common element among them was gambling.
I read some of the reviews before watching the movie. Overall, the movie is worth renting. It is not great, but it is an okay movie.

While I don't consider this a candidate for any movie award, it does have strong performances by Basinger and Liotta. Both give this movie something that Devito could not do, act their roles. I recommend this movie only for their storyline.
I also liked Kelsey Grammer's detective role and makeup. He really appeared to become the character; while Devito was playing the same guy from Deck the Halls.
Watch this when there is nothing else to rent at the video store. However, I ... Read More
