The Poker Club (2008)
Good thriller
Action right out of the gate on this one.
The main character, Aaron, has several friends over his house for a poker game. A burglar breaks in, and they kill the guy by mistake. They decide, since they've been doing drugs and drinking, to dump the body instead of report it. If you can get past this bad move, you're in for some fast moving fun.
The story shows Aaron's world falling apart, the result of jealousy, infidelity, and tensions already going on his in life boiling to the surface. There are several bloody action sequences (this film is not for kids!). Finally, Aaron realizes how all of the violence happened because of a decision he had made during a careless moment.
All in all, a very good film. There's tension from start to finish, very good acting, and finally a moral point to pull it all together. Highly recommended.
