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.

Luke Y. Thompson AV Club ...left to his own devices, apparently, Crowe prefers to show the sensitive side for which he’s rarely cast. Dec 7, 2022 Full Review Stephen Romei The Australian 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. Dec 3, 2022 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Nov 30, 2022 Full Review Randy Meeks Espinof 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] Rated: 2/5 Jan 17, 2023 Full Review Javier Ocaña Cinemanía (Spain) A patchwork work of two creative pieces, and composed of two different personalities. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 2/5 Jan 9, 2023 Full Review Emiliano Basile EscribiendoCine Thematic density strips energy and novelty from a film that just never finds its way.

Kyle M 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-) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/12/24 Full Review Milosz B Pomysł fabularny bardzo ciekawy ale zawodzi realizacja. Dziwnie pompatyczny, przepełniony aż niewyobrażalnym bogactwem, z dziurami fabularnymi i wręcz bajkowy. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 09/29/24 Full Review Jeffrey P 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!” Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/27/24 Full Review Rosana B 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) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/31/24 Full Review Cristian s 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 07/23/24 Full Review Cameron C Maybe the worst script of all time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/13/24 Full Review Read all reviews
