None of them knew the other side of Dan Mahowny--the side that executed the largest single-handed bank fraud in Canadian history, grossing over $10 million in eighteen months to feed his gambling obsession.

Best Films of 2003 (100 movies items)

A movie with several strong performances but so glad I got to see another incredible performance by the late P.S. Hoffman.
