Owning Mahowny

I enjoyed this low-key crime drama about a Canadian junior bank exec who suffers from a very powerful gambling Jones. It's based on true events that took place in '82 between Toronto, Alantic City, and Vegas. Phil Hoffman did a superb unassuming Mahowny. John Hurt played a masterful roll as an Atlantic City casino boss obsessed with getting Mahowny's last dollar. Minnie Driver played the inexplicably devouted girlfriend and Maury Chaikin as Mahowny's piggish local bookie. Worth a watch.
