Yeah it is different, That is the only thing that kept me watching it until the end. There are some things I liked, like that cool mask, or the cool villain, or that nice story that is badly written, and so badly directed. The man came up with a nice story, then he ruined it by directing it, and writing script. Honestly, he just had to tell that idea to someone and it could be great movie. Ron Pelrman is not fit to be an actor. His acting is too painful for my senses. And others could not do better because that script, that script, that script. Come on, that script. My grandmother could do better than that. Even scenery was OK (in some way). Bad cop with an innocent face, villain that no one could kill, and it is not that they did not try, they did, a lot. No, in the end, forgettable movie, i wish it was not, i really do, but it is. How can someone say the acting was good (as i saw someone wrote). The acting was all but good. Maybe that person only watches low rated movies. Stil it is a 4, but only for trying. Maybe someone will make better remake. I just wrote this review because the people need to see the truth. As I saw here, only those who liked the film wrote the review, and that is not fair, it needs some dose of subjectivity that I am offering. Bad movie, sorry guys.

Poker Night is not your ordinary thriller or cop movie. It takes a lot of liberty in telling its many subplots by tweaking the timeline as each detective delivers their respective story. With the lineup of actors the movie has, it presents suspense and occasional humor aptly. However, the constant whirl of flashbacks and abrupt pacing change might be exhausting to audience as it veers too many times throughout the movie.Jeter (Beau Mirchoff) is invited to a poker night by his lieutenant. This ongoing tradition is a part of initiation for new detectives. Little did he know, his first case might just need all the wisdom from these veterans. The plot shifts back and forth as Jeter tries to outwit a psychopath as he remembers the stories from the poker night one step at a time. The risk grows increasingly high as Jeter gambles with not only his life, but also the life of a girl hostage.This unorthodox set-up has the advantage of presenting many subplots, the tone from each can be adjusted for humor purpose as well. It even displays the antagonist's perspective in ironic fashion. The actors do well, they are an eclectic bunch, representing convincing grit accumulated from years of experience. Their tales are pretty interesting, with just the right amount of noir monologue and awareness.Not all of them are balanced though, a couple of these might feel tedious. Furthermore, the sudden shift to accommodate all stories might unintentionally derail the momentum. It has excessive amount of flashback into another flashback, which can be a convoluted viewing. Its overall theme and major plot are solid enough, often dealing with sadistic and perverse nature without getting overly gory, so it does maintain a good level of consistency.Poker Night is different kind of crime movie, the bizarre narrative doesn't completely pay off, but it plays its hand cleverly enough to create a decent thriller.

In this mix between Silence of the Lambs and Creep Show a rookie cop has to escape a serial killer whilst calling on the stories he was told during a poker night hosted by experienced police.The stories are played out in flash back, as are some of the serial killer's.The actual plot of the film isn't that spectacular and some of the cop stories amount to little less than a routine arrest. But they are told extremely well with plenty of colour just the right blend of drama and quirkiness.The punishments the killer dishes out make you wince but were very subtly handled.Elements of darkness are expertly counter balanced with lighter scenes and themes. Even the abstract way a group of paedophiles are depicted is surreal yet sinister.I found this to be a very enjoyable watch, not very many bells and whistles but if you like character acting and suspense you will love this..

Terrible show, lots of bad acting especially the main actor who looks like a useless kid thats in high school. story line was bad, trying to give the wow effect like other movies like shutter island but failed terribly. would not recommend anyone to waste their time to watch this. U will regret. tried to be mind f@23king but turned out to be just sheet. The whole show is illogical and many of the parts were about him making stupid decisions again and again contradicting with the main theme of the movie of not making same stupid mistakes which pisses me off even more. You. Sarkk. Movie. Terrible. Wasted. My. Time. 12345678909876543212345ui987654323456787654323456765432
