Default Deal

So we watched Deal last night. If your thoughts on it were "color of money meets the poker world" then you're pretty much spot on. It's kinda fun seeing all the big names that make an appearance. PokerStars has some HUGE product placement in it though. It's not a GREAT movie, but it is entertaining.

Actually, I believe my impression from the trailer was "The Color of Money" meets "Boogie Nights".

But that was just the Burt Reynolds look. I'm guessing Deal doesn't have naked women.

yeah...no naked women in deal. And yeah, Reynolds looks...umm...alien. That man is a poster child for why plastic surgery isn't a good idea.
