Has anyone ever heard of/seen this movie? It supposedly came out in 2004 but I've never heard of it. It has Sylvester Stallone, Thandie Newton, Melanie Griffith, and Jaime Foxx. Spike TV is showing it next week I think. It sounds pretty similar to ESPN's Tilt."In the shady atmosphere of an underground gambling club, Los Angeles card sharks come out to play. Deception and trickery is the only rule in a game where nothing is as it seems, and everyone has a poker face. The hustlers get hustled, and a fortune rests on every deal. Vernon is a card mechanic--hisold flame, Tiffany, is the kind of woman who will cut out a man's heart if it will earn her a fast buck. Her fellow conman-in-crime, Miller, shoots for any deal that has a payout; be it a petty hustle, or a sophisticated scam. This is a hard-edged crew with a common goal: to beat the The Dean, the ultimate card mechanic and a man for whom players will drop their entire bankroll, just to say that they have taken a seat at his table.

who directed

[JackTrumper 0]

Its a movie about sleight of hand/magic. It is NOT a poker movie. I enjoyed (however it wasn't that good) because I appreciate the art of sleight of hand. The directors even mentioned that it was never meant to be a poker movie as they changes one of the basic rules of poker (if someone doesn't have enough money to cover an allin bet he must fold, ie. bill gates or whoeevr is the richest mofo these days would win everyhand)If you don't know who Larry Jennings or Dai Vernon are, chances are you probably won't like the movie
