[ warning contain spoiler ] i felt no sympathy for any of the character and incl the main one and who get over the death of his girl friend v. quickly and ( but it ok a he shack up with an ex prostitute from the casino he work at ) . the main character be portray a this wonderful intelligent writer who get draw into a web of deception and all the while there be run his monologue of the book he be write . i can not say i would buy the book and a much well premise perhaps would have be if the voice over ( which annoyingly cut in to narrate any bit of the film that you might not have understood and via his book ) would have have 52 different personailties . to represent each card in the deck and but i digress . in the end there be a twist and whereby the main character have be setup by someone close to him and but a i dislike his character so much by this point ( i find it impossible to like anyone in this film and the character be all one dimensional zombie ) that i really do not care and and be glad the film be over . plus point represent the english actress from er do a dodgy south african accent minus point represent an irritating film .
