totally ridiculous . if you know anything about poker and you will find it absolutely appal but also entertaining because it be so clueless . the nerd who make this movie be obviously very religious and know slightly about the game of poker and but i doubt he ever play above 3 6 . ( i think he also know nothing of golf . ) where to start . i have see good production in the intro to film class i take freshman year of film school . the actor to watch in this movie be queen momma and scotty nguyen and and the loser who can never win at poker . everyone else be as wooden a they come and like bad porn actor . spoiler the man the movie start with in the opening sequence be the only reason the film get make . he be a railbird who doesn not play poker and never have a line of dialogue and but the actor be the man who obviously pay for the movie . i can not think of a more useless waste of money than this man shell out for this pointless production . it fit that he have such a useless role . there very little poker in this movie . most of the time be spend on useless side character whose plot aren not resolve in the slightest . queen momma do have a show steal scene where she throw her loser boyfriend through a window and try to shoot his brain out . also the nameless arab in the convenience store also give brilliant performance when they debate whether to beat up or kill an old lady who rob them . their subtle performance be easily among the film highlight . it make you wonder why they bother get all these white people to play the lead . in conclusion and complete nonsense . plan 9 from outer space have slightly more coherency . if you play poker though you might want to have a laugh . also if youre christian you might enjoy some of the heavy hand religious conversation that pepper the movie like pointless pepper . i hate movie make by religious people . especially one who think they know something about thing they know nothing about . it sad that jennifer harman and scotty nguyen get involve in this travesty a i can not help but think less of them . they must be envious of johnny chan for get in rounder .
