The premise may have you thinking this is a buddy road trip drama/comedy of sorts, but you'd be wrong. Everything here is much more subdued and organically manifests from the two main characters. Reynolds and Mendelsohn perfectly portray two different types of gamblers that confide in each other for success. Neither is a completely good or bad individual, though they've both done some terrible things as a result of gambling. We grow closer to them on this trip. There's a raw compatibility and distance between the pair that makes the latter scenes of disdain really work.
