DEAL - opening April 25
Thursday, April 10, 2008
There's another poker movie about to be released on April 25, called 'DEAL". It stars Burt Reynolds, Brett Harrison and Shannon Elizabeth, along with a host of poker players and the World Poker Tour commentary crew.
Burt is the mentor with a troubled past, Harrison is the young hotshot, and Elizabeth is the compulsory hottie love interest. It's a pretty standard storyline.
Aussie Joe Hachem says "Its the best poker movie since Rounders". I don't think Joe would lie to us, but it's not exactly difficult to be the best poker movie since Rounders - what else is there to choose from?!
All I'm going to say is at least it looks better than 'Lucky You'... I reserve further judgement until I see the whole thing.
He's the preview trailer.

This movie has got mixed reviews. I haven't seen it but I do plan on watching it possibly when it's released on DVD even though a lot of reviews have been bad. I like poker and I know it won't be like Rounders, but I still will go see a poker movie regardless of what the movie critics say.
