All In (2006)

Best movie of this year hands down!

Did you people see the same film I saw?

There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I have watched many bad movies, many bad movies! There are few I could not watch. I got through "Children of the Corn IV" rather well. "Psycho Beach Party" while painful was watchable. This film (sic) was not.The plot was possible, the execution was not.I tried to watch it three times. The first two, I started at the beginning and just had to turn it off from sheer embarrassment. The third time, I decided to sample the movie. No matter where I tuned in, it was worse.Domique Swain is certainly a capable actress. She lends some credibility to the movie. Madsen at his very worst is Madsen. (Not a bad thing) Swain carries the movie, but the load is too heavy.

I feel awful for Louis Gossett Jr. and Micheal Madsen for having been involved in this farce. I have nothing against Dominique Swain or the rest of the young cast of characters that look like they belong in a late-night Cinemax flick rather than a movie about poker, but I am insulted at the way the movie was directed. "Ace" played cards like a novice, rather than someone who is supposed to be the daughter of a poker great. The scene in which she calls down a pair of fours to the river against trip queens, only to suck out and make her straight was absolutely grotesque. "Dead money" should have been her nickname.I have to assume that this film was made by people who are either not very experienced at cards or were simply trying to cash in on the current popularity of the game. Not that I expected anything on par with the Stu Unger story or Rounders, but my god if you're going to make a movie about poker at least make sure you can do it justice. This film would likely be much more appealing to a woman's taste based on the storyline, but for true poker players and fans it's nothing but a waste of time. A fairly poor film all the way around. Very disappointing.

This was the worse movie I've seen in a long, long time. So bad, I was shouting derisions at the TV screen. The acting was from HELL, the writing was moronic, but more disturbing is the obviously planted "rave" reviews in this IMDb comment page. Who do you think you're fooling? Do you think if you manufactured praise that it makes it true or valid? This was complete CRAP! I can't imagine so many people went about this production with their head up their ass not knowing how bad this film would be. Who was the actress sleeping with to get a chance to blow this role? Who is the screenwriter related to? Was the producers trying to launder money or are they just blind and stupid. The "real" has-been stars were just phoning in their parts and taking their paychecks and who could blame them. Everyone involved please leave show business immediately and do something more productive and meaningful. Like street-sweeping. Spare us any other attempts. Please.

I think Dominique Swain is totally hot. She is also an awesome actress. Madson is totally great in the movie. I would love to see another movie with Swain and Madsen. It would be cool. James Russo played such an evil guy. I would love to see him do a comedy. Does anyone know if Dominique Swain has a boyfriend? Some Hollywood guy ought to scoop her up. I think she's hot. I think the movie was great. I liked Ace's friends in the movie too. They gave it a young feel to the movie. Lou Gosset was totally out of sight. He is great in this movie. He's great in every movie. All In has something for everyone. Hot girls for the guys. Good looking guys for the girls. I guess. I'm not into guys. I do like the hot girls in this movie though. Keep up the great work Dominique. You're totally hot.
