KURTIS T @RT93612424 08/29/2025 How much you would like this movie will definitely depend on if you are into the underground poker scene or possible crime thrillers. I’ve been playing in underground games for the last 20 years and there have been a handful of games that have been robbed. One I was at was very similar to the starting scene of this movie where three men busted in with two of them having saw it off shotguns and another with a pistol. Scary to say the least but no at least no one got hurt, but they never caught them. We even called the cops after because it’s really not that big of a deal to be running a poker game and even underground. You can just tell the cops there is no rake and then they can’t do anything to the game host. The other game I used to play at that got robbed in a similar fashion. They got away too. I think the first game they made away with about 100 K cash and probably 200 K worth of watches and jewelry. Nowadays, most of the games are cashless and just settle up after the fact to avoid instances like this But not always. About the movie, the movie portrait, Poker specifically underground poker very well. The hands are realistic. The action is good and the storyline tells a compelling story. It’s like near perfect mix of humor, action, and intrigue in the form of a poker movie. It fall short and some spots, particularly at the end, but besides that I think it’s near perfect especially for a low budget movie, the main actor actually played on hustle casino live. Every poker player knows rounders is the quintessential Poker movie, but the hands and rounders are just so dumb. No one is ever flopping top two heads up on an ace deuce five board and folding a five because they’re worried about 34. This movie the hands are real poker hands. I gove thos movie an A-.

See more John K @RT18903994 03/09/2025 Some quirky characters and some action, yet feels kind of jumbled. There have been so many poker movies in recent years and this feels like a jumbled mess of all of them. See more 03/02/2025 First great movie I have seen in a while. The critics have no clue what they are talking about. Smug as usual. It had like-able characters, comedy, action, suspense. It was a fun watch!
