Poker Night

This film deserves more publicity than it is getting.. An impressive cast and a pretty good thriller in its own right.. The different stories that each cop puts forward on poker night are in itself pretty good. Each story is different in their own way and its really depicts how a legit detective team would handle the same case. The negatives that I have are really slight.. Maybe the plot could have been a bit more taut and focused on the killer a bit more. The acting is well handled.. I enjoyed the ending and I wish the team behind this all the best in their next venture. I went in without any expectations but the rating on IMDb (which I think it deserves at least a seven) and I liked it. If you are into thrillers, give it a try.

ridiculous, pretentious, unrealistic and unwatchable. the writer/director did a very stupid but at same time very formulaic mistake to box all the so-called cops to serve and protect the people in a indiana town. these cops under the keyboard of the writer became nothing but thugs and lowlifes, every word and sentence out of their mouth is Fxxk this or Fxxking that. they are more like addictive gamblers or gangbangers instead of well-trained, well-experienced cops. the screenplay's dialog seemed to have an intention to compete in a dirty-mouth contest among movies related to cops or gangsters. the young leading character did not convince me as a legit and believable detective; he's not even qualified to be in police uniform to patrol the street; a pretty handsome face but not a good enough, albeit a least talented actor. those who played the veteran cops in this film are not bad actors, but they were railroaded by the dialog to be just foul-mouthed guys all the time, sounded cool but turned out to be unwillingly forced to deliver their dialog. the culprit wearing a stupid and ridiculous mask in a very stupid drafted scenario and storyline, a tall skinny guy with long limbs and chicken neck. from the very beginning moment of his appearance, the movie was doomed and fatally to be a unbelievable farce. there's nothing right about this film but ridiculousness and pretentiousness.

This is.....different. I don't know how to describe it any other way.

If you're into your horror/thriller type of movie, and you're not looking for anything deep, but you do want a movie with lots of twists and turns, then this is for you.

I liked it. I liked how the different stories played out to help create the main one.

Beau Mirchoff played his character well. Halston Sage is stunning!

It's not an academy award winner, but if you want a bit of fun and horror, then this is for you. You won't pick the story and how it pans out- definitely different....

Cop movies are nothing new, neither is terrorizing someone in a room. I thought the movie was gonna be a Saw meets cop movie sorta thing based on some reviews. gotta say though, this movie was way cooler than that. It reminded me of Guy Ritchie movies - tracking back an forward in time, funny surreal moments, people breaking fourth wall to explain things, characters switching places, etc.

The acting was solid and cinematography and editing were top notch. The beginning felt a tad weak, but i'm really splitting hairs here. They really got everything on the screen with this movie. I think if there's any real 'problem' with it is, it doesn't follow the typical arc people expect these days. More of an oblique 70's feel, where you don't have the satisfaction of a neat resolution or the hero doing the final heroic thing. But that's a good thing. It's unexpected.

All in all, it was actually one of the better movies I've seen this year. Hope it gets legs. It deserves it.

So, so surprised. Not what I was expecting, and not disappointed either. Once you're let in on the gist of the story, it's a wild, fun ride. 👍😱
