2hotFeature one of my absolute favorites!
Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
pkoh0215 I was very disappointed. The movie was filled with poor acting and scripting, an especially wooden performance from the female lead Camden Brady. Far fetched plot and not mathematically probable, as any true card counter would agree. One additional error I noted was that the Blackjack table at the casino showed the dealer using six to eight decks of cards, with the premise of the whole movie and the card-counting algorithm based on the fact that the casino was still using only one deck of cards. The only saving grace was that I didn't have to pay to rent this movie, since Hollywood video went to all you rent for $15 per month last year. Oh, and yes, Camden was very easy on the eyes.
Monk3 This was one terrible movie, start to finish. I think it was shot on a $500 camera that they could seem to keep still. The acting was ridiculous as was the screenplay. I would give this movie a 2 or 3 out of 10 but since a bunch of the film's buddies have obviously gone on and given it 10's I have to try to help the viewing public by averaging down. That's the trouble with IMDb, it is starting to lose its reliance.As for this movie, save 2 hours of your life and watch something else, I wish I had. Thought I would give it a chance since it had a 6.6 rating and (fake) reasonable review.Disappointed.
douglasr I sometimes pick brilliant movies when I stray away from the main stream. This time, I didn't.The editing is sleep inducing, the plot leaves you wondering, the locations suck, everything about this movie screams "low budget". A low budget shouldn't be a reason to avoid a movie, but this stinker makes it so obvious. Example - the "mansion" where the load shark lives looks like anybody's back yard...I honestly think the blonde actress who played the lead female character turned up thinking that she was auditioning for a blue movie - that surely is the only type of role that she would normally be cast in.Avoid it, at all cost.
qariq This is a pretty mediocre movie. Hollywood never gets gambling movies right (Rounders excepted), but they did OK for the most part. Early stuff was good. Later depictions of real gambling were totally lame. Double agents, million dollar bets in a small joint, all that stuff was just plain wrong. But the ending line was wonderful. Worth a rent just for that. What was the striper scene about? Nice rack on the one we saw, but what was the point. I'd love to see Camden Brady's pair, but the best we got was teaser. Max Herholtz did a much better acting job than some have given him credit for. Especially early on. By the way, no casino in the world, ever, under any circumstances, lets a dealer lose 4 mil without changing everything. new dealer, new floor man, new cards, new cocktail waitress, everything. Hollywood never gets gambling movies right.
