Regardless of whether one thinks it was a good book or not, it contained lots of actual celebrities, larger than life figures from Hollywood, world of finance and arts, with multi billion dollar fortunes, playing poker from back rooms of nightclubs to posh rooms at the Fiur Seasons, Hamptons, Beverly Hills mansions, Trump Tower and other places in NYC, with elements of Mafia, Russian mob mixed in, and the FBI, DOJ, ATF added to the mix. Lots of sex, drugs, relationships between players, dealers, massage therapists, hostesses, all add up to a good set of ingredients for a screenplay writer and a capable director to make an amazing movie. That's just my opinion. But as in times past, we've seen that most have a very difficult time making a great poker related movie.
