Philip Seymour Hoffman, at last ,gets a leading role in this entertaining little black comedy, instead of his usual role of supporting actor. And he is, as always, superb as a bank manager who is addicted to gambling and runs up enormous debts , running into millions.And of course the only way to pay them off and gamble more is by robbing his own bank. Great stuff, but it's all carried by Hoffman, without him the film would grind slowly to its inevitable end. John Hurt puts on some sort of accent as a Casino boss and Minnie Driver is, well , Minnie Driver, but watch this just to see Hoffman.
