Some pretty funny moments no doubt. It's definitely a low budget film. I like the cinematography the best.

The little girl does a pretty great job especially.

Interesting take on the poker scene. If you don't enjoy it, just make a drinking game out of everytime the lead actors looks into the camera

I made a user profile, just to warn you about this movie. I almost poked my eyes out during the movie, and after I wanted to jump in front of a train og drink lava to ease my internal pain.

Lots of negative reviews so hopefully I can offer a different perspective.

If you go into this movie expecting a high bankroll blockbuster, you'll be disappointed. If you go into it expecting a high-quality art-house film that suddenly becomes a blockbuster after a come from nowhere major award, you'll be disappointed.

If you go into this knowing that it's a low budget, local, indie movie that also happens to be Ungaretti's debut as a leading man and writer, you will be entertained. Could the writing be better? Of course! Could the acting be better? Also a yes. Exactly what you'd expect from this type of film - people that are passionate about making a film and are putting their heart into it. Let them not be perfect and enjoy this film for what it is. The goal of a drama like this is to entertain the viewer and for me, it certainly succeeded in that respect.

I only lasted 15 mins into this film as the acting was so bad, the timing and dialogue was very unnatural, even the actors cadence felt like they were reading from the script to each other for the first time. The lead actor was like a poor mans Shia LaBeouf and I just got bored with the film in general as it just felt way too linear and amateur.

A movie with poker theme, so I think it would be interesting, like watching WSOP tournament, but the poker itself only maybe around 20 percent of the movie. The poker tournament is not like a poker tournament in this movie. If you hope to watch a poker movie like watching WSOP tournament, don't watch this movie. The dramatic scene it too much compared to the poker scene.
