    really good flick. complete all star cast and everyone really delivered. it was cool to see peoples stories intertwined who really had nothing to do with each other and never met, even though they were connected in many ways. it makes you wonder how many people you are connect...( read more)ed to that you dont even know exist. there werent alot of redeeming characteristics in some of the characters except maybe ray liota and nick cannons character, but i still felt for some of these characters. this film does a great job of showing the downfalls of money and greed.

    Even Money is a bit slow moving and at times, the storyline seems disconnected, but the cast is awesome and the overall message of the film makes it a worthwhile view. The ending dialogue, delivered by Kelsey Grammer's character, was enlightening and a strong statement about hu...( read more)mans and life.

    Like Crash, but without the 'r'.

    I would assume that some big favors were exchanged in order to put together the great cast that this film has for such a horribly weak script. The project must have been portrayed as some type of charity event because it would have cost a fortune if all these folks were paid to b...( read more)e in this stinker. Robert Tannen must be related to someone big in Hollywood, as there's no other explanation for his formulaic, clichéd script to have been given the green light. Don't waste you time...

    I had never heard of this film and happened upon it by chance on On Demand. This all-star cast gives a powerful performance.

    I found this movie to be rather interesting, and sad at the same time, but very watchable. There's several known actors, but don't remember this hitting the theaters, so it was an interesting find, well worth the watch.

    This movie was slow version of Crash, except that Crash is good and this one is not. It's about different people with gambling problems and how they all end up at the end. So what? I don't care for this movie. It took me forever to watch. There was no point. Plus Kim Basinger wa...( read more)s shaking like if she was a drug addict through the whole movie.

    At first I wished we weren't watching it, ... I don't recall it all - but ... I want to see part of it again, maybe 4 stars.

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Producer Bob Yari returns to the Crash well with Even Money and comes up with a turgid PSA about the dangers of gambling. full review

May 21, 2007
Pete Hammond, Maxim

The kind of strong, intelligent adult drama that was an endangered species in Hollywood until 'Crash'. Overall, it's a winning bet at the movies. full review

May 18, 2007
Kyle Smith, New York Post

Strong performances save this somewhat melodramatic film from sudsing up, at least until the end. full review
