Il film non annoia e, contrariamente a quanto si possa pensare, alla fine risulta essere anche abbastanza originale.

A well paced and nicely cast piece bristling with plot twists throughout. Stuart Townsend absolutely shines and the ever-gorgeous Thandie Newton oozes sex throughout as possibly the ultimate femme fatale. An unexpected treat.

its pretty good poker movie

Alot better than what I thought it was going to be...
Cool card movie....

B+/B

Love this movie. The card tricks are great. Makes you want to pull out a deck and start shuffling. I don't know why it's not well known. You have to pay attention or you will get lost. Great ending. Didn't see that coming...
