The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Blistering performances.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

A solid bit of gambling obsession lite. It's an on-the-surface appealing mix of normal Swanberg character driven talk as plot mixed with a more conventional plot about bottoming out in order to be saved from self- destruction by way of addiction. However, neither of those things elevates the other, and what you have is a pleasing diversion with a solid main performance from Jake Johnson. And what can only count as coup for film in the age of the streaming -- this film premiered on Netflix yet it was shot on 16mm (presumably it will never be shown that way?) but because Swanberg opted for 16 over 35 the grain shows all over the screen and constantly reminds you of its origins.

Jake Johnson (Let's be cops) stars as Eddie a guy who's down on his luck and addicted to gambling while trying to get his life back on track. Eddie soon gets into trouble after losing money he's supposed to be looking after as a favour. In debt and out of time, needing the money back can he 'win it all"? Co-staring is Jo Lo Truglio ( Brooklyn nine-nine).Win it all, to me is just a low budget version of The Gambler staring Mark Wahlberg. Which I would say the latter is the better watch. Only just...This Netflix Original film is average at best and just has no real depth to the film, a real lack of direction. Having said all of that the acting in this film is good and I felt there was good chemistry. One or two nice moments in the film but in the end you left feeling like maybe I've just wasted my time. Very forgettable. Review 5/10

This is kind of a movie that you would't remember any thing about it right after watched it whatsoever. Nothing impressive, no casting, no directing, no cinematography, absolute nothing, emptiness, void! I rarely watch Netflix sponsored movies or shows and after this terrible experience, I decided that even those rare incidences would definitely drop to zero. This is for Joe Swanberg, please stop making movies, you may have some other talents in some other line of businesses. Go explore the world, start from scratch, try something else, I'm sure you will be way much successful in anything else but directing a movie, I'm sure you will, anything, just try it! Thank you.

Overall, it is such a nice movie to watch, totally recommended and pretty good... But I felt like some emotions that were expressed by Eddie (Jake Johnson), the main character, were a little fake and not original or life-like.And the main idea or story that the movie made was not clear until the very end where he "Won It All". (can be a good or a bad thing)But overall a must watch.
