Painful to watch for so many reasons, anchored by Burt's face and the high school-quality script. I gave it a pass ONLY because I love poker and recognized many poker tour pros in the movie and several had speaking parts. Some laughs at the mostly corny dialogue, but neither entertaining nor informative. Can't recommend this movie unless you can name 3 or more poker pros. 8/08

This was a bad movie. At least it was less than 90 minutes in length. I would have given it one star but an even worse poker movie, The Grand, got that prize. Some are comparing this picture to the Color Of Money. It did steal the story line but that's as close as it gets. This is a poker movie. Where were the bright lights and excitement of Las Vegas. This picture looks like it was shot in a warehouse. Burt Reynolds hides behind his big black mustache and mumbles through his lines. This was slow and boring. It even seemed like they played and bet and checked and showed their cards out of order? Bad editing? Rent 21 or even Lucky Town for much better recent gambling movies.
