In this true story of the largest one-man bank fraud in Canadian History, Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Dan Mahowny, a mild-mannered bank manager with a nasty gambling habit and a job that gives him access to a $20 million account. When a major losing streak leaves him busted and unable to cover his loses, Mahowny develops an ingenious plan to play the bank against the casino. But with time running out and the odds stacked against him, obsession becomes compulsion and the thrill of the best is quickly replaced with a primal desire to stay in the came. Based on the novel No Limit by Gary Stephen Ross.
"One of the great performances this year is by Philip Seymour Hoffman in Owning Mahowny."
