The pacing sometimes feels like a rollercoaster—quick cuts during the gambling scenes juxtaposed with slower, more contemplative moments that delve into Ball's psyche. The performances are striking; the lead really embodies the pressure and desperation. What stands out is the film’s use of practical effects to depict the chaos of gambling, rather than relying heavily on CGI.
