This movie was a royal flush of crap. Besides the horrible poker standards from a technical standpoint. I was stunned to see it had four writers. The dialogue was appropriate for an MTV drama. I was disappointed to see Michael Madsen attached to such a donkey of a movie. I guess he has to eat too. James Russo was his usual one note gruff self. The Director apparently brought his vast acting expertise as a walk on character actor (mostly featured extra roles)to direct his mostly young, pin-up looks but shallow as a puddle cast. the subplots were inane and muddled. This film was a train wreck riding the popularity of hold' em's recent rise to prominence. The Soundtrack was completely unsuited to the tone of the movie. The Main character is capable of only righteous indignation as an emotion. the 10 yr old version was much more convincing as a real character than the "grown-up" version we are supposed to empathize with. This is 90 minutes of my life I'll want back someday.
