The plot - if you can call it that - revolves around an English teacher (Mark Wahlberg) who gambles big time on Blackjack and Roulette in his spare time. This brings him into contact with a sinister trio of money lenders - one Korean, one African American, and one large, white guy. Wahlberg spends the entire film borrowing from one to pay the other - or more often than not to gamble further instead of paying off the others.
Wahlberg isn't a good enough actor to pull off the pages of dialog the role calls for, and everyone else seems there just to pad it out to its full ninety minutes.
Disappointing.
