All in - La vita in gioco

Firstly, all the good reviews here, you know the 10/10ers are written by reviewers who have only one movie reviewed. A sure sign of something wrong - pure flack.

This isn't horrible: but it really is a waste. The acting above all stinks...

The writing is fine except when you really want it to be original it is horribly clichéd

The film is horribly slushy. And the hospital subplot is entirely unnecessary.

If I ever meet the person responsible for the music I will definitely be asking for my money back; just intrusive, inappropriate and all round yucky...

It would have been so much better to concentrate on the classroom and the poker room. It has a good premise and ruins it by turning it into a soppy soap opera...

Looks and feels like a made for TV special in every respect. Watchable, barely.

This was by far the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life. The plot was absolutely ridiculous. The idea of making money off of poker was somehow sprung upon the audience with very little coherent reasoning or explanation ("Oh you're sort of good at poker based on the one hand that you won when we were drinking and playing strip-poker, so let's pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of debts with our combined pseudo-talents! YAY!"). Absolutely everything about this film was awful. The script, the acting, and the photography were nothing short of laughable. I wouldn't normally post a comment at all on a film so terrible, but, somehow, this film managed to be so particularly horrendous that it was thought provoking in itself.

Wow!!!! Saw this movie on cable and it was one of the best things ever. It's so bad that it's good, I couldn't stop watching. The plot is everywhere, they solve problems that shouldn't even be in the movie. The acting is like a bad made for TV movie. Even the camera angles were below that of a direct to VHS movie, yeah not even good enough to get a DVD release. It's classified as a drama by my cable channel but I was holding my sides laughing constantly.

If you like poker at all or even have watched it on TV, I hope you check this movie out cause it will be one of the funniest things you'll watch in a while.

This was the worse movie I've seen in a long, long time. So bad, I was shouting derisions at the TV screen. The acting was from HELL, the writing was moronic, but more disturbing is the obviously planted "rave" reviews in this IMDb comment page. Who do you think you're fooling? Do you think if you manufactured praise that it makes it true or valid? This was complete CRAP! I can't imagine so many people went about this production with their head up their ass not knowing how bad this film would be. Who was the actress sleeping with to get a chance to blow this role? Who is the screenwriter related to? Was the producers trying to launder money or are they just blind and stupid. The "real" has-been stars were just phoning in their parts and taking their paychecks and who could blame them. Everyone involved please leave show business immediately and do something more productive and meaningful. Like street-sweeping. Spare us any other attempts. Please.

I enjoyed this movie from beginning to end. If your a guy or girl who likes Vegas and the unexpected result every time a card is flipped over then I recommend picking up some Chinese food and beer and sitting down with this flick .Anyone who loved movies like Scorsese's CASINO should enjoy this genre, even though this film deals more with a father/daughter relationship and being there for a loved one rather than the typical mob Vegas..Madson's emotional performance with his kid almost had me in tears in the end...I also would keep a sharp eye out for this new director Vallelonga..................................I give it a full boat or at least 3 aces............Private
