All In

I play a good bit of poker, but even if I did not I would be very disappointed in wasting my time watching this movie. It has absolutely nothing to do with real odds, or anything to do with poker. Acting is atrocious, the representation of poker is astoundingly bad, and every part of the movie absolutely sucks. "All In' has as much to do with poker and actual movie quality acting as a fart has to do with perfume, the movie is terrible....Don't ever, ever, ever watch it. For one, there are people out there that could not even rig a deck for the sake of the plot's horrible progression if they had all day and could arrange the cards without anyone looking, for two, the movie sucks, but I think said that already. I know most movies always have someone saying "worst movie ever", but this truly is the WORST MOVIE EVER MADE!

I feel awful for Louis Gossett Jr. and Micheal Madsen for having been involved in this farce. I have nothing against Dominique Swain or the rest of the young cast of characters that look like they belong in a late-night Cinemax flick rather than a movie about poker, but I am insulted at the way the movie was directed. "Ace" played cards like a novice, rather than someone who is supposed to be the daughter of a poker great. The scene in which she calls down a pair of fours to the river against trip queens, only to suck out and make her straight was absolutely grotesque. "Dead money" should have been her nickname.

I have to assume that this film was made by people who are either not very experienced at cards or were simply trying to cash in on the current popularity of the game. Not that I expected anything on par with the Stu Unger story or Rounders, but my god if you're going to make a movie about poker at least make sure you can do it justice. This film would likely be much more appealing to a woman's taste based on the storyline, but for true poker players and fans it's nothing but a waste of time. A fairly poor film all the way around. Very disappointing.

This was the worse movie I've seen in a long, long time. So bad, I was shouting derisions at the TV screen. The acting was from HELL, the writing was moronic, but more disturbing is the obviously planted "rave" reviews in this IMDb comment page. Who do you think you're fooling? Do you think if you manufactured praise that it makes it true or valid? This was complete CRAP! I can't imagine so many people went about this production with their head up their ass not knowing how bad this film would be. Who was the actress sleeping with to get a chance to blow this role? Who is the screenwriter related to? Was the producers trying to launder money or are they just blind and stupid. The "real" has-been stars were just phoning in their parts and taking their paychecks and who could blame them. Everyone involved please leave show business immediately and do something more productive and meaningful. Like street-sweeping. Spare us any other attempts. Please.

This is truly awful. It is unbelievable that movies like this get made much less shown. The only explanation might be that some very rich kids were very well connected.

This was so awful that I want out of my way to register for this site. The plot was so predictable and the writing was so bad, I thought I was watching porn -in fact I was so fascinated by its mediocrity I couldn't turn it off. It's unfortunate that L. Gossett and M. Madsen got sucked into this, it's a perfect example of just what's wrong with Hollywood. not to mention "ace" Anderson -huh? talk about porn. porn names. porn plot and porn acting

I recommend this movie to anyone that enjoyed the movie of the week about the alcoholic mother or the secretly bulimic high school girl. I kept looking for the Lifetime logo on the bottom corner of the screen. I'm with the other guy that thinks all the other voters are crazy. I am almost positive that these people were part of the production and really hoped that IMDb readers would watch the movie. I watched this on The Movie Channel last night. There is no way this played in any theater. The only thing cheesier than this movie is the set (Hollywood Park Casino). This is Madsen's second bad poker movie, I believe. He was in Tilt as well on ESPN, I think. I welcome any comments to the contrary. Poker player? Med student? Who cares?
