"Final Wager," A Heartfelt, Edgy Christmas Film with a Twist: Now

Los Angeles, CA - This holiday season, add a new classic to your Christmas watch list with Final Wager [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt20918380/], a heartwarming yet edgy film that brings an unconventional twist to holiday storytelling. Produced and starring Scott Hamm Duenas [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0358335/?ref_=tt_cst_t_5], the movie follows Chance Sleigh, a flawed but lovable gambler desperate to save his mother from eviction - if he can beat the odds on one final Christmas Day wager.

Adding star power to the mix is Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill actor Michael Madsen and Rosanne and True Lies actor Tom Arnold, who deliver standout performances alongside Duenas, Trevor Penick, Fernanda Romero, and Jennifer Daley. Directed by Kenny Yates and written by Emmy-nominated casting director Jerry Artukovich, Final Wager blends humor, drama, and suspense, taking inspiration from beloved holiday hits like Bad Santa and Christmas Vacation while channeling the gambler-centric charm of Rounders and Let It Ride.

"Like Gremlins or Die Hard, I've always loved holiday movies with a twist or an edge - the ones that make you stop and think, 'Is this a Christmas movie or just a movie that happens on Christmas?'" said Duenas. "We wanted to capture that same dynamic. It's a film that will entertain, make you laugh, and leave you debating the character's choices long after the credits roll."

"When I first read Jerry's script, I couldn't put it down. It reminded me of the movies I grew up loving - character-driven stories with heart. And the lead character, Chance, really hit close to home," added Duenas.

Inspired by real-life experiences shared by Duenas and Artukovich, the movie asks a compelling question: If you knew you couldn't lose a bet on Christmas, how far would you go?

With a gripping story, standout performances, and the holiday spirit turned on its head, Final Wager is the perfect addition to your Christmas lineup. Stream it now on Amazon Prime Video [https://www.amazon.com/Final-Wager-Kenny-Yates/dp/B0D3J5L36H], Apple TV+, Google Play, and Fandango, and let the debate about its Christmas movie status begin!
