Dave S @Daveisgd 6d Not the best acted movie and at parts felt slightly all over the place, but in the end I walked away enjoying it. See more Ian T @RT07060242 Apr 30 Last hand: Jack of Hearts on the table. A minute later, striped shirt shows he's holding the Jack of Hearts. Another minute later, he turns over his cards: No jack; just two queens. That's how this movie was. Couldn't even get the poker scenes right. See more John F @ReviewYeti Apr 19 Execrable. Worse than amateur. Film students make much better films. No direction or pace to the scenes, dull cinematography, pedestrian acting or worse. Don't bother, really. See more Stephen S @RT83106018 Apr 18 Cons: Predictable, boring, poor pacing, crude for no reason. Pros: Awesome set design. See more Denise S @RT13424563 Apr 15 Horrendously bad. Some of the worst acting I've ever had the displeasure to watch. It amazes me that these sinkaroos somehow find funding. The money to make this POS would have been put to better use by lighting it on fire. See more Read all reviews
