The unconvincing romance that develops between Ben and Jill is an afterthought seemingly thrown in to attract female ticket buyers. Their scenes together interrupt the action on the casino floor and slacken the movie’s otherwise fast pace.Spacey is the only actor whose scenes are a welcome interruption from the gambling. He has perfected the art of playing cunning villains you love to hate, like John...
