Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The wholesome pup's poker face alone, however, hardly accounts for the film's failure to thrill. Damon's character doesn't really have that much stake in the story's outcome.

rotten:
Intermittently engaging but dramatically slack.

rotten:
Gretchen Mol, Edward Norton, John Turturro, Martin Landau, and Famke Janssen costar; they're all pretty good, but not good enough to make this 1998 feature worth seeing.

rotten:
The end result is still short of a winning hand, since the screenplay is so utterly predictable.

rotten:
Though it's a good-looking flick with some smart acting and a few flashy runs, it barely breaks even dramatically, and feels, overall, like a good chance wasted.
