A tricksy drama in which misdirection and sleight of hand are both a part of the plot and a technique employed by the director to keep his audience guessing. Damian Nieman filled both creative roles and for some reason it’s his only film to date. He did well. The characters occasionally feel more written than real, but that's often par for the course in drama.
It follows a trio of card-cheating hustlers as they attempt to win big on a very exclusive poker game. As you’d expect, it doesn't go smoothly.
Being a fan of poker meant I very much enjoyed it. If the principal actors had tried harder to make the role their own it could've been even better.
