I have no memory whatsoever of Rachelle Lefevre in "Casino Jack,"
and not much memory of the movie itself. It just didn't do it for me.
It takes a lot for a Kevin Spacey performance to leave me under-
whelmed, but this one did it. Go figure.
That said, because it was free for me as an eyepatch-wearer, I
decided to check out "The Caller" and found it remarkably
interesting for a low-budget horror/psychic/scifi/ghost story.
Thanks for the recommendation.
Because you're a Netflixer, if you missed "Terriers" during its
original run on TV, I hear it's on Netflix WI now. It *isn't* on
DVD, and shows no signs of getting there, so if you're at all
interested, this may be your only shot other than ordering
episodes on iTunes to see the show. I think it's worth the time,
a remarkable reinvention of the private detective genre, with
truly lovable characters.
