However, the viewer should not allow themselves to get bogged down with it all, we get the gist with well-developed staging and performances. Especially since much of the movie is done with voice-over, I can see where critics are coming from. The dialogue is wrought with jargon that almost makes a mockery of itself. I had absolutely no idea how to play the game when I first saw this movie about five years ago. Considering how Hold 'Em has developed into one of the biggest social fads in the last decade, I would say that this film captures every emotional aspect the 'swings' of No Limit typically carry. This film was unjustly panned as lethargic and bleak without a purpose.
