I've done a lot of things I shouldn't have, but seeing this movie is one of my top 3 regrets.

Wow, even Uwe Boll films have scored higher on Rotten Tomatoes, Deal must be one rank piece of ****.

I don't think this is possible, even though I have never seen lucky you, I am positive it is a terrible movie.

I recently downloaded Deal out of curiosity, I wasn't expecting much and I imagine it will be pretty ****ty as well.

poker-wise, its very similar to lucky you. In fact, the endings is are essentially identical

its honestly one of the worst films i've ever seen. lucky you is goodfellas compared to this. if the young pro chip dumps to the old mentor one more ***** time at final table in a film i will kill someone.

pretty funny when you see him take down a big tourney on stars, but he cant see his hole cards. they were so cheap they just watched a tourney and pretended

I thought it might be entertaining in the way that really trashy movies are sometimes entertaining. It was terrible.

ZOMG just watched. I knew it would be terrible and I watched it anyway. Super predictable, like I could always see what was going to happen 5 minutes later. Except I thought shannon elizabeth would be the hooker with the heart of gold and theyd end up married or something. At least by cutting her out of the movie they managed to avoid one thing that would have been completely cliche'.

- terrible acting by competent actors (partly the writers' fault)
- all poker hands shown were either coolers or bad beats, and in the home game sequence, it doesn't even look like the players are betting in the correct way
- painfully predictable storyline with very little depth
- won't see again

I know I'm being a nit bashing the specifics of this movie, but if a movie about POKER can't even be enjoyed by POKER players, who's going to appreciate it?
