Not just a horrible poker movie, but a horrible MOVIE in general!!!


I can't believe i sat through this movie. I actually fast forwarded it through the non speaking parts and walk through's. I dont even know where to begin. First, if you want ur movie to be good or at least half good, you have to have a strong plot. This was a pathetic attempt at that. Predictable story through and through. Next, i know movies have budgets, you can get a better actor for the main character. Also, Burt Reynolds is past his prime. He looked like, a clown with all that make up. Seriously, his eye brows were freaking me out.Also, just because its a poker movie, doesn't mean you have to have all poker stars and celebrities that like to play poker, in ur movie. Look at Rounders!! Ok, i can go on and on about how horrible this movie was, but their is only one more point i want to make. This goes for a lot B rated movies that get bumped a little higher for having 1 semi big name in it. You have got to have a strong buildup for your main character, otherwise the audience is already bored. The pace of the movie was way too quick. Horrible. Just Horrible.

Wow. I think I disagree with just about EVERYTHING you said. Interesting.
