Probst has crafted a nifty little story for his film debut, and I'm actually looking forward to see what he'll do next. Who knew?

Crossed paths with this movie while looking for something "included with Prime" and, well, I saw some playing cards and am a sucker for anything "gambling" ... it kept my attention and would recommend to friends.

An underrated gem. I first saw this in 2006 or so and was captivated. I waited years to find it again and I'm glad it still holds up. A compelling story, good acting by Ryan Reynolds and James Earl Jones, and a dope ending.

For having surely the most predictable 'twist' I've seen in a film, this loses marks. Tension is built up well and the plot is ok but it would work better on stage than on film.
