    The movie from HBO in the 90's starring Dennis Hopper as Barry Seal was much better...........

    Seemed like a true story alright because this gal's voice was hard to understand. So, I suppose this makes it more realistic?
    * She never slept with a woman or man in this entire whole long story? Well, duh, we normal human's know better realism than that.
    This what we humans do, even women as strange as this gal was.
    ** The loss for me was, no in-depth poker knowledge exposed, like, actually, studying the poker-hands more closely by presenting some clear knowledge of just how the winners were separated from the losers. All pretty vague with details on how the ace player [the actor] was able to humiliate all competition for so long.

    Poker chicks... Lol...

    Jennifer Tilly is probably the best female poker player in the world today and she's an actress by trade... That tells you all you need to know about chicks and poker...

    https://gamboool.com/has-a-woman-eve...-wsop-bracelet

    How come chicks suck at poker? Poker is still a man dominated game...


    Jennifer Harman I guess is decent also as far as women go...

    When the last time a good movie won any awards? I'm sure there exceptions but typically awards go to the most boring dog shit films of the year.

    I'm guessing it is a good movie and is worth a look.

    BUT I have also noticed that gamblers tend to like ANY MOVIE that involves gambling.

    Rounders is the high water mark from movies I have seen
