Poker Movie Review

After a rough night on Thursday night and then a day at work behind my computer I had planned on taking it easy on this Friday night. I headed over to my buddies house and picked up a couple of flicks. The flicks were “Shade” and “Batman Begins”. We decided since we had heard a lot of good things about the movie “Shade” and since it was a poker flick we decided to throw this one in first. Alright has anyone seen the poker movie “Shade”? It has a pretty solid cast which consists of Sly Stallone, Jamie Foxx, and Melanie Griffith. From the look of the cast and the interesting story line it would make you think it has potential too be a good flick. For those that have not seen this flick it is about poker hustlers who play in big underground poker games that are run in clubs and martini bars. The main goal of the group of players is too pull off a big time sting that would leave those involved set financially for life. Throughout the movie there are a lot of twists and turns that get the viewer to think a fair bit about what is going on and who is trying screw who. I really liked the idea behind this movie but since I had heard so many good things about it I was definitely left wanting more from the movie. Needless to say I would have rather been playing some online poker at Poker Party and been trying to make a few bucks instead of spending a few bucks on this movie.
