decent drama film that centers around poker. a little slow going and even boring at times, but you'll get the pot in the end.

its got poker! I guess I have to see it, ive heard its meh but I should see it.

Ok I saw it and thought it was alright. The script was terrible at times, funniest was the 'noobie and slave' line but theres a couple of other ones. But still, had some of my fav pros in it so it gains half a star or so, robert williamson lll was behind Bana in a scene and Barry Greenstein was there so it evened out. If you like poker you will probably like it, otherwise maybe not for you.

The poker is interesting, as are the quiet moments between Bana and Duvall, and the tournament result is interesting in a "I didn't quite see that coming" sorta way.

There is just something ... missing ... that prevents this from being great. Sort of disappointing as a fan of Curtis Hanson's other films.

I didn't even know this movie existed before it showed on DSTV. It is boring as hell, but watching the poker matches was very insightful.

Seemed to be going nowhere... then it went even more nowhere... then it ended. No one is cast correctly, and thus the entire ensemble delivers their lines as if they're being fed off a teleprompter. A highly unfortunate film. The movie was suppose to be set in close to present day, but everything looked old and worn out, from the sets to the clothes. Everything was just out of sync. One star for just the presence of Drew Barrymore... even though she looked fairly dreadful for the duration.

Actually pretty watchable in a late night poker sort of way and it's refreshing to see a more realistic portrayal of the Vegas strip. Unfortunately Barrymore is woefully mis-cast.

Its very passable terrible choice by eric banna, if he thought this was gonna be "the color of money" of the poker world he is gravely mistaken.

i like poker and this was a cool movie to watch cause it had some cool poker players in it and Eric Bana is a pretty good poeker player. But He soulda won the whole thing... the ending was cute. It was a decent movie.

I thought that it was a good movie to pass time with. Makes me want to put up 10k for a seat at the tournament. A lot of bad beats for the main character though.

If I wasn't addicted to poker this movie would be a 6/10 at best. Besides Rounders, its the best poker movie I have seen.
