Well, it could be like The Social Network (which was great).

this is gonna be really bad
look at bruce willis last 5 movies....
justin timberlake is clearly there to appeal to the online poker fanbase... shows how much of a hit it will be.

cliff of the movie:
1 -people gets rich with the poker boom
2 -various scam ensues ( money lost, someone killed )
3- a vibrant moral ending about the responsability to watch over our kids, gambling vs god, blah blah blah
4 -willis goes busto against aragorn1

Where are people getting poker from?

The link says it's about online sports betting and JT is playing an offshore bookie. Sounds absolutely terrible and more so for having Timberlake in it.

A tragic tale of a winning NL50 player (willis) who gets tempted by the dark side and purchases hand histories from PTR. Goes on big upswing. Crushes 100 NL. Faps to threadsavers of Catherine Zeta Jones. Timberlake is the 2p2er who discovers Willis purchased hand histories and outs him on the forums. Willis is shunned by community. Realizes the error of his ways and deletes hand histories and goes back to 50 NL. Must now post only in P5s.

Jalex plays a guy who owns his own business.

Sorry for spoilers.
