only saw this movie late last night . i remember the hype of it release and to be honest have i view it back then i maybe wouldn not have be so generous . i hate hype and it can ruin a movie . i think the movie gloss over the character and put too much emphasis on woody . he be good too although kept wonder if he be stone the whole time . it never go too deep . redford be dark but not too dark and his character let me down in the end . to me he should have be more confrontational with demi throw her out perhaps or tell her that she be pay for . after all he would have investigate them before he make the proposal that not show in the movie and but no one in his perceived position would have make an offer to just anyone . he be cruel to the point of break them up and the last straw be the house and yet demi fell for him . the passage give an insight to demi and woody relationship be the best part of the movie . there be a keen deepness that outshine the shallowness of john gage character . he really could have be a lot strong and a other people have allude i think the movie draw card be redford and they do not want tarnish his image . i say what the hell robert be old in this movie . woody and demi character be naive in a sense and but i think that be very intentional to draw you to their plight and champion their decision . but the reality be and they be lose their dream home and where do they go . la vega . to gamble what little they have leave and then accept a proposal from an insanely rich billionaire . i find their naivety when redford be seduce them a little too unrealistic . the movie could have be so much more and other actor would have make a difference and but have say that on late night tv it be enjoyable and i if you do not think too much also palatable .
