As for me, this is one of the worst films about casinos and gamers. The film is just absurd. The very name suggests that it is better to pass by this "masterpiece of cinema". However, as a true casino fan, I was not able to pass this movie. It seems to me that it would be easier to get an <a href="http://www.breakingnewsweek.com/">online casino bonus</a> than to watch this movie to the end. I understand that this is a pretty old movie, but there are many older films that do not cause such negative emotions when viewed. Of course, this is just my subjective opinion.

1998

Roughly chronological, from 3/96 to 11/96, with a coda in spring of 1997: inside compounds of Aum Shinrikyo, a Buddhist sect led by Shoko Asahara. (Members confessed to a murderous sarin attack in the Tokyo subway in 1995.) We see what they eat, where they sleep, and how they respond to media scrutiny, on-going trials, the shrinking of their fortunes, and the criticism of society. Central focus is placed on Hiroshi Araki, a young man who finds himself elevated to chief spokesman for Aum after its leaders are arrested. Araki faces extreme hostility from the Japanese public, who find it hard to believe that most followers of the cult had no idea of the attacks and even harder to understand why these followers remain devoted to the religion, if not the violence.
