LastingAware The greatest movie ever!

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story

Melanie Bouvet The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Glitchface Dan Initially it was promising, but slowly and surely it made my blood boil like lava.My teeth are well-ground stumps and I'm here writing this review at 3.15am when I should be in bed, only to save others from experiencing this utter,UTTER puddle of drivel.I held on until the end stupidly.I think me and my friend suffered more than all the murder victims in this by watching the entire thing.The main character is at the core of all my rage, he was so unbelievably dumb that he'd be beaten by a cow that has suffered a shotgun blast to the head in a game of noughts and crosses, yet the writer wants us to believe that somehow (thanks to his fairy God-Mother) he made detective.The only way this pre-pubescent cop would make detective is if he won his badge in a Police raffle, but even then I wouldn't be surprised if he couldn't read the numbers on his ticket.If this person was real, he would need carers 24/7 to help him walk in a straight line, let alone tie his shoe-laces.Visually it wasn't bad and apart from the infuriating lead character the rest were very good.I don't blame the main actor, bad writing and casting is to blame here, it was a total waste of a good team because of something so basic.If this was a late 80s film it would be funny, but in 2014 it's just embarrassing.I actually feel much better now this is off my chest.It's like this film created a small black slug of negativity inside me and I desperately needed to spit it out before it grew into a large snake, consuming me as I sleep.Ahhhh, night night.

wcb123 I found this film very entertaining. It seems to take various styles of 90's films and roll them up into one, it feels old school but at the same time it remains original and fresh. The blend of genres, its fast moving pace, the surreal flashbacks and the way it's narrated make it feel like it could be based on a graphic novel/comic book.The acting is top notch by everyone and the directing/editing was flawless.63pc is a good score on here but i would personally say it's a 6.9 verging into the early 7's. The RT and Metacritic scores are definitely too low.Watch it, it is fun and at the same time oddly quite disturbing!I'll be keeping an eye out for more of Greg Francis' stuff for sure.

Darko Mrsovic Yeah it is different, That is the only thing that kept me watching it until the end. There are some things I liked, like that cool mask, or the cool villain, or that nice story that is badly written, and so badly directed. The man came up with a nice story, then he ruined it by directing it, and writing script. Honestly, he just had to tell that idea to someone and it could be great movie. Ron Pelrman is not fit to be an actor. His acting is too painful for my senses. And others could not do better because that script, that script, that script. Come on, that script. My grandmother could do better than that. Even scenery was OK (in some way). Bad cop with an innocent face, villain that no one could kill, and it is not that they did not try, they did, a lot. No, in the end, forgettable movie, i wish it was not, i really do, but it is. How can someone say the acting was good (as i saw someone wrote). The acting was all but good. Maybe that person only watches low rated movies. Stil it is a 4, but only for trying. Maybe someone will make better remake. I just wrote this review because the people need to see the truth. As I saw here, only those who liked the film wrote the review, and that is not fair, it needs some dose of subjectivity that I am offering. Bad movie, sorry guys.

jmwhy2012 To me, I watched this film mainly because a friend highly recommended this film, and partly because of the rating here is like 6 out of 10 which apparently not the worst ><Anyways, get back to business. Great things about the film: 1. Setting of the film is pretty refreshing, a little bit feels like a stage in a theatre 2. Being able to tell the story pretty clearly. 3. Damn, those legs of Ms. Sage are fine!!!!Things I personally hated: 1. couple things feel like ripping off from some other WELLKNOWN good films Such as: a) Batman: Begins ---"scarecrow" which happened to be the villain AGAIN, like really? Can't you be more creative?b) Kickass --- the whole Mr. Alby being the mentor & the screenplay, just feels Kickass to me.c) No Country for Old Men ---- "We just pretend they don't exist " to me, that just sound just the point of NCfOM trying to express. This also shows a bit of too much cynicism.d) Silence of the lamb & Se7en ----- The room full of pictures of dead girls, does it remind you some things from those two films?2. Overall the storyline is told clearly, but some does not make sense. 3. Some scenes feel too childish for a thriller. 4. The stories told at the other officers had absolutely nothing to do with the film like at all, just saying "don't ever give up", "ask for a kiss" They can be replaced with other things to make the movie more intense. Oh well, the film is called the Poker Night, isn't it? So I understand but I still think not a good choice of storytelling. Like the guy didn't even use any advice from these cops in any way, then why needed to tell the stories? 5. Storyline is a bit messy as the film just keeps back and forward and back and forth etc, just a little bit needless and pointless.Overall, 3 out of 10 is definitely as high as I can rate this film. If not, only lower not higher.Sorry friend...
