Final Wager

Final Wager is an absolute holiday gem! The acting and writing for this movie are both solid, and the movie is very entertaining.

Veteran actor Scott Duenas shines as lead Chance in a cast that includes Hollywood legends Michael Madsen and Tom Arnold. Musician and actor Trevor Penick also does a great job as Chance's friend Ty.

The story and script are so well written that the premise seems entirely plausible.

Don't wait for December to arrive before you watch this non-Christmas Christmas movie. It is truly a refreshing take on the holiday season, and it will keep you entertained from beginning to end.

Such a good movie! Great cast, direction and original storytelling. Scott Hamm gets better and better with every film and it's amazing to see independent filmmakers do their thing. It's a really fun twist on a classic Christmas story and thought the cinematography was really impressive and the picture had a clear vision for how it wanted make its audience feel. This movie is great any time of year, but it's fun for those who want to get in the holiday spirit without rewatching just old children's movies. The casting for each character was great, as well, and the overall world building was excellent. Highly recommend!

This is a cute movie for date night at home. It's a movie about gambling but I see it as a love story. Love for his mom and his girlfriend. It's funny and light. I really enjoyed Trevor, he's a natural. I love Christmas movies but you don't have to wait for the holidays to watch this. It's got just enough to make me happy but not too much to where you feel like you should wait til Christmas to enjoy it. Just an all around good movie. I love Michael Madsen. He never disappoints. Without giving any spoilers I feel like they left it open for a sequel. If so I will be watching. This is the type of move you can watch multiple times.

The highlight of this film are actors Scott Hamm Duenas, Tom Arnold, Michael Madsen, and Co-Star Trevor Penick.

Final Wager is a heartfelt Christmas movie that keeps you interested, as you root for the main character Chance, played by Scott Hamm Duenas. The character Ty had a lot of pizzaz to him, and enjoyed watching his relationship with Chance.

I liked that the film wasn't a typical Christmas movie that you often see as the storyline deals with a gambling addiction. The story turns a negative into a positive as Chance decides to gamble on Christmas day in hopes of winning $60k so that his Mother doesn't get evicted from a nursing home.

Scott Hamm Duenas is very likable, and he is a talented actor.

I have been following his career, and it's nice to see him act opposite Michael Madsen and Tom Arnold.

I would love to see Scott act in more films in the future as the lead character.
