This does scream Toronto to me, that main schlub seems like everyone I've met who is into poker in Toronto. Looks interesting, albeit a bit depressing.

OP, are you involved with this movie, if so, can you run down what games these guys are actually at in the trailer?

Movie appears to be lacking in Oreo and tracksuit-wearing Russians content. Other than that, good effort.

FWIW, the film has had mixed reviews--some enthusiastic, some negative. How you react may depend on whether you have poker experience, but I'm not yet sure how that affects things.

Main character seems like an underrolled fish on a four month live heater to me.

My first thought as I saw this thread was actually "oh great ANOTHER poker doc", seems like the tenth or something to come out in the last while. I guess there would probably be a dozen docs about butterfly collecting too if a bunch of young guys all got rich butterfly collecting at the same time and wanted to branch out.

I'm going to try and catch one of the screenings at some point too, thanks for the link OP.

Also, they really have to come up with better names for those places where you sit and watch movies than "screening places" one of these days!
