The Last Casino (2004)

What a respected actor like Charles Martin Smith is doing in this Canadian clunker, is a true mystery? Adding his name to the DVD case can get your attention, but unfortunately, the story itself is so badly written, Charles Martin Smith surely must have regretted his involvement. A lot about "The Last Casino" is annoying, including the totally unrealistic premise, casino security, motivation, and rapid camera movements. No one will be pleased here, not the gamblers, because it is so trivial, and certainly not the Charles Martin Smith fans, because his talents are totally wasted. You have been warned. - MERK

Stumbled across this movie by chance - how lucky! I was entertained from the very first to the last minute. The plot was genius, and the acting was very good too, especially by Katharine Isabelle who plays one of the three students being dragged into a world of gambling and mathematics by a gamling-addicted professor.Half way into the movie I thought I'd figured out how it all would turn out, luckily the ending wasn't what I thought - neither with respect to the economics or the relationship between the students... Great! Who haven't been in need of some extra cash ? __Is_ there after all such a thing as "easy money" ? Watch the movie and find out. It grabbed me from the first minute spinning up the plot using familiar situations and quick lines combined with humor as well as a genuine interest for the mathematics involved.This is a 10 in my book !

I was watching a bit of wind down TV just before kicking off to sleep when I stumbled upon the Last Casino. I must say I was immediately captivated by the introductory scenes and story line. I was kept awake because of the pace of the movie, it got my attention right away. I've been a fan of the movie "Rounders" with Matt Damon and Edward Norton, and most recently the TV series "Vegas", so I was naturally curious to see which way this would go. I have to say this movie was awesome.This is a must see as it shows a most interesting side of gambling not seen often. I've always been intrigued by gambling and felt there is much more than luck involved.I was also delightfully surprised that this was a Canadian flick and nice to see our colored money. Especially to see it being won in large sums. All of the actors/actress were most impressive and I recommend this show over and over.

Usually, Canada is known for it's movies with heart and feeling, but lacking in entertainment. Now that many companies are coming up north to film, it seems Canada is making some great movies on their own with The Last Casino.The premise of the movie is provocative, and the writing is genius. The Last Casino was both entertaining and credible. There are specifics to this movie, where it is apparent that a lot of thought and effort was put into the plot.I loved the suspense and closeness that was created through the types of shots the director used.I suggest that everyone try to see this movie (it not widely available), and as Canadians we should be proud this is one of our products.
