Axel surprises Hips when he says he knows gamblers like himself want to lose. He adds that he could have made lots of money by betting only on sure winners, but that doing so would not have brought him any real excitement.
Ignoring the warning by Hips that it's dangerous, Axel wanders off into a black ghetto near the gymnasium where the game was played.
Axel proceeds to lure a pimp into a life-or-death fight by refusing to pay a prostitute. As Axel repeatedly assaults the pimp, the prostitute slashes him across the face.
Axel looks at himself in a mirror and smiles enigmatically at the blood pouring from his wound. The film was the first produced screenplay by James Toback.
He originally wrote The Gambler as a semi-autobiographical novel but halfway through started envisioning it as a film and turned it into a screenplay.
Toback became enthused about the possibility of De Niro playing the lead. He showed the script to his literary agent who gave it to Mike Medavoy who attached director Karel Reisz.
Reisz did not want to use De Niro and cast James Caan instead. Caan says the film is one of his favorites.
Some see the film as a loose adaptation of the short novel The Gambler by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. Reisz and Mr. Toback reportedly worked a couple of years putting the screenplay into this shape, which is lifeless.
The latter is no mean feat, inasmuch as ruthless movie mobsters are a dime-a-dozen in these post-' Godfather ' days We know that the film is a success, because it doesn't really matter whether Axel is a winner or a loser as the film ends.
Murphy of Variety called The Gambler "way ahead as the better of two current films about the gambling compulsion.
Director Karel Reisz has one of his most compelling and effective films. Title star James Caan is excellent and the featured players are superb. At its center is an hypnotically absorbing performance, at once charming and dismaying, by James Caan, who must certainly have an Academy Award nomination for it.

This is a misconceived and strangely cast affair that can't work out its own attitude toward its main character. Geoffrey Macnab.
Mark Wahlberg is always a physically articulate actor; here he wrings despair and disillusionment from every beaten-down gesture, every curt exchange.
Wendy Ide. The Gambler You couldn't make it up. Charlotte O'Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg's designer-suited performance is shallow and self-admiring Peter Bradshaw.
Adam Woodward. It's hard to know what to make of Mark Wahlberg's character in The Gambler - but at least that puts you on an equal footing with Wahlberg himself.
Robbie Collin. No matter how finely feathered the hair or slim and trim the figure, Wahlberg is simply one of the glossy mistakes Wyatt's film trips over.
Nicholas Bell. Chris Hunneysett. Thanks to the presence of Goodman, Larson and Lange we're presented with a stacked deck, so how come it feels like we spend two hours holding the bridge rules card?
Stephen O'Nion. The dreamlike imagery, editing, and soundtrack invoke the haze of addiction, but the writing never follows through with the message, leaving us unstirred, with little to take home and think about.
Bernard Boo. The Gambler is a solidly acted and directed piece that somehow can't decide what kind of film it is. Paula Fleri-Soler. James Clay.

He plays both sides, immersing himself in an illicit, underground world while garnering the attention of Frank John Goodman , a loan shark with a paternal interest in Bennett's future.

Title star James Caan is excellent and the featured players are superb. At its center is an hypnotically absorbing performance, at once charming and dismaying, by James Caan, who must certainly have an Academy Award nomination for it.
And, as almost always happens when a movie is predictable and everything is analyzed and labelled, the actions and the explanations aren't convincing.
Gambling is too easy a metaphor for life; as metaphor, it belongs to the world of hardboiled fiction. Intended as a new directorial project for Martin Scorsese , it was reported that Leonardo DiCaprio was attached as the star and William Monahan would write the screenplay.
