Rating: 4/5 -- Haunting Karel Reisz film

Rating: 4/4 -- Reisz, Caan, and screenwriter James Toback have constructed the character and the movie so convincingly that the scene not only works, but works two ways: first as suspense, and then as character revelation. Full Review

Rating: 4/5 -- James Caan is unforgettable in this tense examination of a college professor who can't stop gambling. One of the many overlooked gems of the 1970s.

Rating: 4/5 -- Caan doesn't need much else (aside from his 'fro) to carry the picture.
