This movie can be considered a deep thinker movie and I can see some people truly liking the ending. For a serious drama, I found that unacceptable. Time and distance realities seemed to go into fantasyland and the viewer was expected to just accept the unbelievable in order to get to the movie finale. Where it fell apart for me was the final 15 or so minutes. As the storyline progressed, we started seeing the dark, hidden past that haunted him. That character trait did add drama to the story because you just didn't know whether he was sane, insane, a good guy, or bad guy. It did move slowly at times as the main character (William) was a moody, thinker type the entire film. Seeing the Martin Scorsese name associated with it, I expected greatness. The gambling topic and casinos are always an interesting topic to me.
