Very poorly developed, the movie simply jumps into poker and fails to ever develop its characters or any interest in them.
If you're a poker fan you'll probably enjoy watching this fictional version of World Tournament of Poker et al.
But again, it's fictional, and apparently an opportunity for several big-name washed-out actors (Burt Reynolds, Jennifer Tilly) to get a job.
But since it's fictional and the characters are simply pretend, there's nothing in this movie that causes your empathy or excitement to root for them, unfortunately.
What a bum-deal.
