Jim Bennett (Academy Award®-nominee Mark Wahlberg) is a risk taker. Both an English professor and a high-stakes gambler, Bennett bets it all when he borrows from a gangster (Michael Kenneth Williams) and offers his own life as collateral.

THE GAMBLER WILL BE RELEASED ACROSS AUSTRALIA ON FEBRUARY 5, 2015
