Location was ridiculous

I may be crazy, but when he went to "atlantic city" I recognized the "casino" as the spot where I took my kids to First Night in the underground area in downtown Toronto (I believe near Scotiabank or somewhere in that circle). I right away thought that I recognized the wall. It looked just like they set up some tables and the Cashier sign in that area and started filming, and I could see the whole movie set as just that, a movie set. Even the floor was the same. It seemed the whole movie was filmed in areas I was familiar with as part of the downtown subway/underground system. Outside of Philip Seymour Hoffman who is riveting as always, I really had a hard time watching the film because it looked so staged that it was ridiculous. Also, we do NOT say aboot. Even my boss who is from the deep east and says "haish" for H, does not say aboot. We say a soft about. People in the US only guess I am from Canada because I enunciate really well and I say progress with a long O. That's about the only difference. I wish movies would pay more attention to detail.
