"THE GAMBLER, coming to you this April, on Digital HD, Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and VOD"

“This film is not about addiction,” said Mark during the NYC press conference in 2014.

Despite the title, trailer and log lines that film really isn't about an out of control addict—who knew? Well, Mark knew so now you can enjoy this gritty film “not about” addiction but about power, greed, money and more greed. 

Wahlberg stars as Jim Bennett, a brilliant professor leading a secret double life as a high-stakes gambler. When Jim is forced to borrow money from a notorious gangster, he places the lives of those he loves in mortal danger. With time running out, he must enter the criminal underworld and risk everything to keep from losing it all.  Directed by Rupert Wyatt (Rise of the Planet of the Apes) and written for the screen by Academy Award-winner William Monahan2 (The Departed), THE GAMBLER also stars Golden Globe-winner John Goodman3 (Argo), Brie Larson (Short Term 12, 21 Jump Street), Michael Kenneth Williams (“The Wire,” “Boardwalk Empire”) and Academy Award-winner Jessica Lange4 (“American Horror Story”).
