The plot: A tech billionaire gathers his friends at his home for a high-stakes poker game. Things go awry when his mansion is invaded by a dangerous killer.
This poker face movie was rubbish.
Pros: I don’t really have anything good to say.
Cons: It didn’t get time to develop the characters that well. Throughout the film runtime felt like dragging on and the final confrontation was so boring with no excitement.
