There are only a few poker movies
because there are only a few themes that you can build them around. Here we see
the maximum gained from the simplest idea.
We can't really say too
much about this film because it would be giving away the ending. However, be
assured that the cast perform very admirably and this is fun for all people,
not just gamblers.
Basically a family rolls
into town and the man of the group thinks he can play a little poker with the
town folk in the back room of the saloon. He gets in deep and that's where the
fun starts.
His wife and his whole
family get involved with the game and the stress builds so much that it makes
the man unwell so his wife takes over. Watch and see the rest.
The score for
non-gamblers 8/10.
This has now been
released in Zone 1 & 2 as a DVD.
