Editorial Review:
Roland is a small time con who's tired of his penny ante payoffs. Richard fancies himself a big time businessman, but lately the only thing big time about him is the debt he's in. These two men, whose lives could not be more different, become unlikely partners in a kidnapping caper where no one is quite what they seem and everyone has an angle. In the end they all could walk away with a piece of the action, but in Atlantic City everything is a game of chance and a bad hand is only a deal away.
Atlantic City Jackpot Reviews:
complex drama with an odd twist 
2006-03-12 - Very different from your typical daramatic fare, good acting and story give this compelling drama a compellingness that is refreshing and absorbing.
The opposite of its promises 
2001-07-15 - This is an awful movie! If you will note I titled this review "The Opposite of its promises", and the reason being is that, first of all it shows Danny DeVito on the front of the cover as if he is the main character, and yet he barely has a part, posing as the bartender at a pool and is only seen for abot forty five seconds. Also it says it is heart-felt and funny and is none of those things! The actors and actresses do a horrible job posing as their charachter and don't seem to have any depth or feeling at all. If you read the back of the jacket it says that it is about a man with almost no money and many debts to pay off and that he kidnaps a rich man's kids to get money, that is the entire film and it isn't even done well, in fact I've made this putrid film sound much more exciting and dramatic than it is. The film has absolutely no depth. It has no comedy,drama, romance, excitement or any thing like that. It is no doubt one of the worst films ever.
