Surprisingly good movie, more than meets the eye

Rating: 7/10 (16 January 2018)

This movie is unexpected in its level of depth, for sure. I went to it thinking it would be a typical poker type thriller movie, and the advertising is a little misleading for the film, because I think it gives this impression. Instead, we get a complex and intelligent "deep" type of film, about important, meaningful things such as family relationships and how the past can have lingering effects on peoples lives, and lasting consequences. If you like drama type movies with lots of character depth, and a movie that has lightning quick dialogue - you have to always be paying attention - the movie assumes the viewer is intelligent and is not watching it for cheap thrills or for shallow reasons, if seeing it in the right frame of mind, you will find this to be a very interesting movie.
