Better Than I Expected

Rating: 8/10 (29 March 2008)

I went into watching this movie not having read the book or knowing much about poker. It teaches you everything you need to know about the game if you are clueless, like I was. This movie was very entertaining , the acting was great (I was impressed with all the characters especially Ben portrayed by Jim Sturgess), yet the movie can seem slow at times. The film was directed brilliantly and kind of reminded me of the Ocean movies. Overall, it's a movie to see if you're up for a few laughs (as in there's comedy); a fun enjoyable trip learning about the students on their journey to pay for ridiculous college prices nowadays.
Go see it! You won't regret it!
