    It was okay.
    Outside the main actor, the acting was pretty poor.


    Also, going into it I thought the plot was going to be totally different.

    same. i had different expectations.

    the main actor plays a good role. just not my cup of tea with how the story went.

    Saw it in the theaters and I’d give it a thumbs down. Had a few OK scenes but overall as a movie was blah.

    I was hoping there would be more of a gambling theme since it is the focus in the beginning. I liked him going to the casinos and playing and showing the card counting. Then it went to the army and the things that happened with prisoners. I was like Eh. He met that annoying young guy too.

    Yep, bad movie. The only part that's realistic is the early five-minute scene where he's winning...and then makes a quick exit with the cash. That was done well.

    There is one Double Down scene with huge holes in it. The double is done versus a combination that would never EVER indicate a double. But that scene somehow made it past the cutting room.

    It's definitely a movie you only watch once. It will hold your attention for the two hours but if you see it on TV you're not going to watch it again.
