Predictable but entertaining if you like poker, October 20, 2009
By NoWireHangers (Sweden) –
This review is from: Deal (DVD)
Alex is a college graduate whose parents got him a job at a law firm, but what he really wants to do is play poker. He meets Tommy Vinson, a former poker pro who promised his wife 20 years ago that he’d never play again, and has kept his promise. Tommy becomes Alex’s mentor and stakes him in tournaments. “Deal” has some not-so-subtle product placement (PokerStars and World Poker Tour) and the story is like a poker remake of “The Color of Money”, but the actors are good and it’s entertaining if you like poker and don’t mind that it’s a bit predictable. Several poker pros appear as themselves, including Antonio Esfandiari, Greg Raymer, Joe Hachem and Phil Laak, whose girlfriend Jennifer Tilly also appears, not as herself but as a poker pro. 3 stars.

Compare to Rounders?, February 12, 2010
By Rogue1 “Rogue1″ –
This review is from: Deal (DVD)
First I’d just like to say that Mr. Charles Durning is a cast member on this movie. I think Mr. Charles Durning is a tremendously talented actor who incidentally has led a most interesting and adventurous life.His Mr. Healey in Captains and Kings was incredible! Now,to the movie. Comparing Deal to Rounders is like comparing a pair of roller skates to a Rolls Royce because they’re both vehicles. The cast seemed to try but it just didn’t work.

Excellent movie, August 18, 2009

This review is from: Deal (DVD)
I was surprised at how good this movie is. They dared to go against the hollywood formulas, and I saw that the ‘Critic’ in the yahoo reviews did not even watch it, which is obvious from his commentary. I guess the makers of this movie did not give any kick back to the powers that be. A very very good movie. I have recommended this movie to three pals I have who each said they were not intersted, I did not let up though and they saw it just to get me off their backs. Two of them ended up buying it. This is one of those movies that was shot down by a few couple people with an axe to grind, its really good. Has some real life messages about prostitution, commitment and honor.
