Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Iseerphia All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
phoenixlau The premise is simple enough: professional poker players/gambling degenerates Phil Laak and Antonio Esfandiari wander around with a camera crew making proposition bets with each other. Real money is wagered on the order of hundreds to thousands of dollars, and the types of bets range anywhere from the simple ("I bet you I can guess that guy's age") to the elaborate ("I bet you I can panhandle better than you") to the downright scary ("High card, loser has to get the winner's name tattooed on his butt").On paper it sounds like it could get repetitive quickly, but in actuality the show is consistently hilarious. Much of this hinges on the great interaction between the two co-stars Phil and Antonio, close friends that really seem to revel in the other guy's agony of defeat. The best moments are probably the "training" bets, where they each get a 1-hour crash course in something (roller derby, dune buggy racing, modern dance, etc.) and then must duel head-to-head in an inevitable trainwreck of ineptitude. Visions of Phil Laak's dance routine still haunt my nightmares!
