His motto: "I see bad movies so you don't have to."Lucky You or not, for poker faces only
Better to fold ’em than to spend time watching Eric Bana and Drew Barrymore go literally nowhere in a film that relishes the art of “Texas Hold ‘Em”. If that’s your thing, more power to you, but don’t go looking for something compelling, surprising or meaningful. A real disappointment from talented director Curtis Hanson (“In Her Shoes,” “L.A. Confidential”).
