Writer Needs An Editor

Rating: 1/10 (24 April 2018)

This movie was just bad. Anyone who knows a thing or two about poker will probably find this to be patronizing and unenjoyable. Anyone who doesn't know a thing about poker might find it to be pretentious. One reviewer was right - this movie has as many words as a 6 hour miniseries. She literally did not stop talking! Between her dialogue and her ridiculous narration, it started to feel like some kind of schizophrenic episode where I just wanted the voices to stop! There was no room to breathe, the story was bad, and the writing was worse. Next time, hire a better editor to say what you said in a quarter of the words and a half hour less of a movie. Other than the bad writing, the acting was just full of cliches. Even for a true story, it's not believable at all.
