merklekranz 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

Aiike Honestly this movie is one of those made just for college kids. I personally don't think it is that bad of a movie, more to the contrary i think it is one of those quality film production from first time movie directors.(i think he is email me if i am wrong). However i wonder why the movies pace was all over the place. It went fast and slow and then all over the place. More to the point if you wanted to watch this movie it is a great 90 minutes of passing time. However if your looking for a movie more based on drama in the casino go watch the movie Casino. This movie more or less touches on many subjects involved with the casino. How people cheat casinos and so on! But the thing about this movie that bugs me the most is the stereo types portrayed in the movie. They put the movies players in roles whereby we all know exactly what they are and how the movie will involve them when we first meet them. Enough ranting. End of the day. Good movie.

ChaosEngine Even by Canadian movie making standards this movie is absolutely horrible. The casino sets were very badly done, I've seen better casinos at stags set up in banquet halls. I will throw a positive in here though, the loan shark's hairdo, positively hilarious! Now, the leads were passable but the movie is so horribly written there really wasn't a lot they could do with it. The real crime was the supporting cast, welcome to the only casino on the planet where they openly laugh at you when you lose playing blackjack, and I want to make special mention of the hotel security, about as threatening as a school guidance counselor giving you a scolding. If you do somehow have your converter go on the fritz and you simply must watch this, have a copy of Casino, or The Gambler with James Caan, or even Rounders handy. You can use them sort of like casino anti-venom to get this out of your system. One reviewer did however hit the nail on the head, he/she mentioned this is one of Canada's best movies, can't argue with that statement. At the time of this review the other reviewers had written exactly one review each, all about this movie, all glowing reviews! I wouldn't suggest cast and/or crew, but you could.

cozmo-9 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 !
