Critics Consensus

As Kenny Rogers told us, you've got to know when to fold 'em -- a warning Russell Crowe should have heeded when he got the script for Poker Face.

...left to his own devices, apparently, Crowe prefers to show the sensitive side for which he’s rarely cast.

I think this movie is full of imperfections and almost all of them are forgivable. Not the ending, however. It’s a pair of sevens.

2.5/5

Crowe’s direction is efficient at best, intrusive at worst... None of this really matters if you’re grooving with the plot, but that’s a big if. For a film about poker players, it’s all a bit obvious.

A slow-motion death in which every narrative decision taken is the wrong one, with clumsy plot twists that trip on themselves. [Full review in Spanish]

A patchwork work of two creative pieces, and composed of two different personalities. [Full review in Spanish]

Thematic density strips energy and novelty from a film that just never finds its way. [Full review in Spanish]

I cannot believe I wasted my time watching this movie. To make it worse, I'm still thinking about how bad this movie is 3 years later.

As expected, Russell Crowe came to the table with a calculated demeanor, only for those strategic bold moves to be shorthanded in an easy play with an extent that doesn’t win decent favors besides the likable players. (B-)

Pomysł fabularny bardzo ciekawy ale zawodzi realizacja. Dziwnie pompatyczny, przepełniony aż niewyobrażalnym bogactwem, z dziurami fabularnymi i wręcz bajkowy.

Ugh, kinda bluffed, not really about poker at all. Too many subplots that only succeed at lessening the already elusive main plot. Villain is laughable, unforgivably stupid; is told to just take the $200 million painting and go, his reply: “YOU DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!”

Russell Crowe em dose tripla, roteio, direção e atuação, executando todas com maestria, excelente trama, se não original, mas com mesclas e apropriação de elementos suficientes para entrega uma ótima dose de suspense, ação, drama e leves pitadas cômicas, considerando o roteiro, teria um potencial até maior (com a ampliação do adolescência e enriquecimento, mas que pouco acrescentariam a trama). Doença maldita C. sendo o de Pâncreas mais agressivo, mortal e doloroso, e um amigo com suspeita (off)

De ritmo lento y casi somnífero, si a eso se le suma que la historia que tiene para contar es mala hace que no valga la pena. Las buenas actuaciones la hacen llevadera.
