Poker Face (2022)
3/10
Drama with some action sprinkled in
15 November 2022
I expected it to be some action/thriller movie but was pretty disappointed. Its neither a good drama nor a good thriller movie.

Starts out with a group of young boys hanging out playing poker. You see who are the good ones vs bad ones and then movie jumps to the middle-aged version of those kids. Jake the main character is hosting a poker game at his house for these friends and shenanigans ensue. The good and bad grown up versions of the kids emerge as intended.

The story is not particularly interesting as a drama because so little is invested in Jake's life. We only know he is a terminally ill multi-millionaire and he's contemplating the life he will leave behind for his ex wife, daughter and his buddies. None of the characters have any pizzazz to them. Even the bad guys were quite dull except for the art thief. He was the only one that shined in his role.

The action that I had hoped for was minimal and forgettable. Movie ends exactly as you knew it would so no surprises here. Not much to recommend here its another disposable movie that may entertain you for 20 minutes.
