Vague Visages

“Lili Simmons plays it perfectly in ‘Double Down South,’ a cinematic descendant of the modern gambling classics ‘Rounders’ and ‘Mississippi Grind.'”

Kim Coates does manage to steal each scene he is in with his piercing eyes and inability to stand still.

The perfect cast brings this twisty script to life and creates one of the most entertaining movies of 2024 thus far.

Gritty, but exhausting, overlong and vapid.

Audiences will ultimately leave wanting to know more about keno billiards, want to scratch an itch of high stakes gambling, and want more drama just like Double Down South.

Rated: 3/4

You know there is something more than what you are being shown as every character seems to have secrets they are hiding. The intrigue grows as the film advances.

Rated: 2.5/5

I loved it enough to pay to watch it twice, and I've only done that a few times in my life.

Watchable but very predictable. Pretty girl who's good at pool turns up and - guest what - she's really good. Don't expect any twists and it's certainly not a thriller. You can see the ending coming. No Idea why it's got such high scores. The kind of film that should be on Netflix, and that's not a compliment.

Horrible accents. Not one of them speaks the same way as the other. It's distracting. Sounds like a bunch of northerners trying to mock various accents they've heard on TV...with no clue where they were from.

This movie lures you into the stadium with great story-telling, great acting, and then hits it out of the park. Do not find out the story ahead of time--let the movie take you on its ride.

Very good movie I haven't seen a story line like before. Lili Simmons was excellent and played her roll very well. Glad I saw it.

Double Down South is a gritty and intense confidence-thriller that keeps you on edge, telling a captivating story about a sport you likely didn't know about. Some may find it too intense, but I certainly enjoyed the intensity.
