Not as good as expected,

This review is from: All or Nothing at All (DVD)
While Hugh Laurie does an adequate job of acting this film doesn't quite deliver. The writing is weak and isn't strengthened by the addition of explicit love scenes which, in addition to being simply embarrassing, have an aura of silliness about them like a tacky film from the 70s. Overall the film plays like a low budget film, which, except for the inclusion of Laurie, I suppose it is.
The ending is particularly hard to watch with an unintentionally funny, supposedly ironic ending. Pass on this one unless you are a hard core Laurie fan.

Addictably watchable and compelling direction by Andrew Grieve. Hugh Laurie is well-cast as the likably deceptive Leo Hopkins. A well told story written by Guy Andrews of the gripping downward spiral of a man who just wants to make everyone happy.

EXCELLENT MOVIE,
This review is from: All or Nothing at All (DVD)
Another outstanding performance by Mr. Laurie. He is an amazing actor that once again shows his enormous talent.
Mr. Laurie play a con artist named Leo who would sell his mother to make a buck. There's a great scene of Mr. Laurie doing TAI-CHI in his underware is an added bonus!

This is an interesting drama about a man (Hugh Laurie) whose life is out of control, but in a hidden and quiet way. His interactions with his wife, family and friends are all portrayed quite realistically. I liked Hugh Laurie's acting in this, and recommend it highly. I don't want to give away too many details, but think you will find it a fascinating story to watch.

Hugh Laurie at the top of his game in a morality tale that remains more current than ever in light of the Madoff, etc. schemes. Must see. Slow start... hang in there!

Hugh Shines as Gambler,
This review is from: All or Nothing at All (DVD)
A very dramatic, watchable drama, where you want to root for Leo(Hugh Laurie), even though his gambling is troublesome. Hugh is really believable as a gambler who only wants to make everyone happy. Actually felt sorry for him. Good acting, and I thought the ending was perfect.
2.0 out of 5 stars
Painful to watch,

This movie was too painful to even watch to its conclusion. I really enjoy Hugh Laurie, and his acting was quite good in this movie. The character he played was on such a downward spiral through an addiction that it was utterly unenjoyable. I couldn't see past this very pitiful character and very sad story. Perhaps I'm into escapism when I watch a movie. Sad stories are one thing, but watching an addict spiral downward is just annoying.
