Absolutely one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Period!
Nonsensical plot, terrible, terrible acting, horrible score and a
rock bottom low budget. And if you have an interest in playing
poker, as I do, don't bother. There is nothing in this mess about
real poker. It looks like a group of high school seniors
scrapped together a few $thousand bucks, wrote this silly mess
and filmed it over the weekend! Don't waste your time!

21 (2008) goes into blackjack card counting heavily.

There are some old-school tricks that can give you a leg up in poker
though (of course you might lose your leg if you get caught by another
player or an eye in the sky, lol).
