A comedy drama with Eric Bana, Drew Barrymore. Naturally, the cast is perfect. Bana plays a professional poker player who is the best at reading people but has some issue with his personal life, while Drew Barrymore comes in as someone who has nothing to do with poker but knows how to read Bana. It was easy to relate to the character. Robert Duvall is his father and an icon in the poker world. I really enjoyed that movie and I think that you would too.

A real yawner, but if you rent it, you can fall asleep on the couch and it goes by pretty quick. Harder to do in the movie theatre. If you don't want a bad beat, don't rent this.

I was disappointed with this --there was a lot of hype ;then a late release; acting was OK ; POKER WAS GOOD.

Excellent movie. Sure not for those who go to movie to eat popcorn and watch how people are killing each other. Eric Bana is wonderful in this role. And this is the real poker game and life of people with brain.

There are better poker movies out there. Eric Bana doesn't really get to me as the slick pocker player the way Matt Damon and Ed Norton did in rounders. All together there are better poker movies (Rounders, High Roller: the Stu Ungar Story and teh Cincinnati kid come to mind) The attempt was good and there are plenty of poker stars in the movie to give it that real-life allure (Phil Helmuth, Daniel Negreanu , etc.) But it falls short of having the real life poker intensity.
