5.0 out of 5 stars Conflicted characters in a great twist and turn thriller!, May 9, 2009

By

Matt (Denver, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Poker Club (DVD)

Effortless... Based on reading one preview article and Judy Reyes' involvement, I saw The Poker Club. I wasn't let down, for once. This story is of an accidental murder after an innocuous poker game (Hosted by Johnathon Schaech) among friends. Soon enough, it becomes clear that almost everyone who appears to be an innocent bystander to the homicide in the beginning, actually has MUCH deeper problems. I love how this story is told... every time a guilty party is approached by a cop (In most cases, Reyes, the lead detective), your stomach sinks. You really don't want anyone to be caught, even though you know what happened was horrible. In the end, everything is wrapped up nicely, and though no moment in the movie is happy, I'm glad I saw it. It portrays the guilt of all those involved better than most movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good solid thriller, April 18, 2009

I Love Movies (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Poker Club (DVD)

I saw this at a screening and liked it. It's a murder mystery thriller in the vein of a Hitchcock film, but with a contemporary spin to it. The direction was solid, the actors good and the script kept me guessing.

This review is from: The Poker Club (DVD)

I had to watch this movie a few times, just to catch all the little clues that lead to the plot twist at the end. This movie has a good plot, but the real focus of the movie is on the acting. The behaviour, the eye-contact, the facial expressions. And it's all good.
