MOVIE REVIEW: OWNING MAHOWNY (2003) * * * (3 stars out of 4).
External link:
Owning Mahowny, starring Philip Seymour Hoffman was a little slow, but it was very compelling. It was about a bank manager who cleverly steals money from his bank to finance his gambling addiction. It really captured how compelling gambling can be. A big theme of the movie is the contrast between the huge fortunes of money that he's willing to spend on gambling, with how cheap he is in his regular life. It reminded me a lot of my own father, who might make or lose a hundred thousand dollars or more in a single day in the stock market without demonstrating any emotion, but is very excited to save five dollars on his lunch.
