United States | The Wall Street Journal | "Kim Basinger gives one of her strongest performances in 'Even Money', a kind of 'Crash' fueled by gambling instead of racism." | POS |
United States | Variety | "Standard-issue directorial approach is perfectly in keeping with a script whose natural berth is on the tube." | NEG |
United States | Entertainment Weekly | "An overstructured, overacted indie drama about gambling, addiction, and the sawdusty romanticism of old-time magicians." | NEU |

United States | The Hollywood Reporter | "Overlong and overstuffed with cliches -- the movie doesn't seem to realize how close it comes to comedy." | NEG |
United States | The New York Times | "A scare movie about gambling addiction, is as grim and lurid as any in the recent spate of films about the evils of crystal meth." | NEG |
United States | TV Guide | "A high-profile cast can't save this multi-narrative drama about gambling addiction from its wildly uneven tone, which veers from high melodrama to hard-boiled pastiche so overwrought that it's unintentionally funny." | NEG |
