    Amateur filmmaking at its best

    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.

    The actor that plays danny is great!

    "Danny's Game" is an intense thriller that keeps audiences on the edge of their seats from start to finish. The film, directed by a masterful storyteller, seamlessly weaves together elements of suspense, drama, and unexpected twists. The protagonist, Danny, brilliantly portrayed by the lead actor, delivers a captivating performance that adds depth and authenticity to the character. The plot unfolds with a perfect balance of mystery and revelation, leaving viewers guessing until the very end.

    The cinematography is a standout aspect of the movie, with each frame meticulously crafted to enhance the overall atmosphere. The use of lighting and shadows adds a layer of tension, contributing to the film's gripping and ominous tone. The soundtrack complements the narrative, intensifying key moments and elevating the emotional impact.

    The supporting cast is commendable, with each actor bringing their A-game to the table. The character dynamics are well-developed, and the chemistry among the cast members is palpable. The screenplay is tight, with sharp dialogue that propels the story forward while revealing essential nuances of the characters.

    "Danny's Game" successfully navigates the delicate balance between psychological thriller and character-driven drama. It tackles thought-provoking themes and raises questions about morality, justice, and the consequences of one's actions. The pacing is spot-on, maintaining a brisk tempo without sacrificing the depth of the narrative.

    In summary, "Danny's Game" is a cinematic triumph that captivates audiences with its compelling storyline, stellar performances, and impeccable craftsmanship. It's a must-watch for anyone seeking a riveting cinematic experience that lingers in the mind long after the credits roll.

    Not good

    This movie reminds me if Quentin Tarantino decided to make a movie as bad as possible. Writing was trash, acting was even worse.

    Story is not good. Exposition is thrown in everywhere in awkward, clunky ways. I enjoy 90% of movies I watch, and this definitely falls into the latter. I can't think of a single redeeming quality of this movie. Not one. Do not watch it.

    Worth The Watch

    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.

    Under my expectation

    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.
