Watch All In For Free

Really Surprised!

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

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.

This movie was a royal flush of crap. Besides the horrible poker standards from a technical standpoint. I was stunned to see it had four writers. The dialogue was appropriate for an MTV drama. I was disappointed to see Michael Madsen attached to such a donkey of a movie. I guess he has to eat too. James Russo was his usual one note gruff self. The Director apparently brought his vast acting expertise as a walk on character actor (mostly featured extra roles)to direct his mostly young, pin-up looks but shallow as a puddle cast. the subplots were inane and muddled. This film was a train wreck riding the popularity of hold' em's recent rise to prominence. The Soundtrack was completely unsuited to the tone of the movie. The Main character is capable of only righteous indignation as an emotion. the 10 yr old version was much more convincing as a real character than the "grown-up" version we are supposed to empathize with. This is 90 minutes of my life I'll want back someday.

It's true, this film was godawful.... and the posters who gave it a one are ALL right --there are too many reasons to count as for why this film deserves such a bad rating.But I do want to say I had several good laughs reading the comments about it here! Now that experience was far, far more entertaining then the film itself.I would like to point out one more huge plot hole, however, something so absolutely absurd that any script writer above the age of 8 would surely have spotted it -- supposedly, this big deal doctor who must make millions a year as a doctor, is shaking down poor Medicaid patients for sums like $10,000 or he threatens to not complete the surgery. WTF?! How can poor patients come up with kind of money? That's got to be the dumbest, most unproductive scam ever.I honestly think the script was written as they went along. At one point, you think the slightly older-than-intern doctor (the one with huge collagen lips who seems to wear an evening dress everywhere she goes and no doubt wears one under her surgical scrubs, along with ten pounds of unhygenic make-up) appears in a casino scene and is obviously being set up as a gambling addict. But, then, poof! That plot goes no where and the evil head doc comes in.Honestly, I'll stop now. I wasted enough time on this stinker!

I feel awful for Louis Gossett Jr. and Micheal Madsen for having been involved in this farce. I have nothing against Dominique Swain or the rest of the young cast of characters that look like they belong in a late-night Cinemax flick rather than a movie about poker, but I am insulted at the way the movie was directed. "Ace" played cards like a novice, rather than someone who is supposed to be the daughter of a poker great. The scene in which she calls down a pair of fours to the river against trip queens, only to suck out and make her straight was absolutely grotesque. "Dead money" should have been her nickname.I have to assume that this film was made by people who are either not very experienced at cards or were simply trying to cash in on the current popularity of the game. Not that I expected anything on par with the Stu Unger story or Rounders, but my god if you're going to make a movie about poker at least make sure you can do it justice. This film would likely be much more appealing to a woman's taste based on the storyline, but for true poker players and fans it's nothing but a waste of time. A fairly poor film all the way around. Very disappointing.

Oh for God's sake. How could anyone seriously give this piece of trash anything higher than a 1? Someone is seriously messing with us on these rave reviews. The story is unbelievable, cartoonish, silly and not the least bit interesting.The acting? It's embarrassing. Louis Gosset Jr totally pimped himself out to this crapstravaganza, and Madsen was more convincing in the lame love.com. Of course, these two out acted the entire rest of the cast; most of whom had better save up their money while they still have looks.Dominique Swain? Nothing. No talent whatsoever. Shameful that this person has ever been cast in a movie.This may be the very worst movie I have ever seen in my life. I can't think of enough ways to say how badly I hated it. There was nothing good in it at all; not one single minute of it. What complete absolute garbage! I can't believe this even got made! Do NOT waste your time on this ridiculous crap. It's not even "so bad it's good." It's just so bad it's bad.
