The script is very ordinary, but fortunately there are some stereotyped father and son grievances, which are expressed by the two actors. Especially every time old Cheever appears, the subtle changes in Huck's expression are better than many lines explaining the relationship between the two; and Duval also expresses his father's unwillingness to admit defeat and show his love for his son. got it just right. In contrast, the love line is very lacking in visibility, not only the plot is cliché, but also Barrymore's appearance is old, and his acting is also very general. I remember what Ang Lee said in his autobiography, some very experienced actors, because too much. Can act, but it is difficult to move the audience.
Thanks to the biggest highlight of the film - Texas Hold'em, I think this is more fun than blackjack, and there are more tricks. The competition between people is more direct, and it can better reflect the master's ability to observe words and emotions. I love the way the players tap the table as they play their chips and check, and the latter also acts as a gesture of respect between the players, which looks and feels good. Many poker masters in the film are real people, and the creative team also invited several professional consultants, which made the final final very beautiful. I wish I had the chance to play a real Texas Hold'em game in the future.
As a fan of Eric, I think his appearance in this film is still very handsome. Compared with those crazy gambling films in Hong Kong, Eric's Huck is quite restrained, but also in line with Eric's style, but I don't know if it is the director's request or not Master it yourself, the performances here are a bit too internalized, and people are not very enjoyable to watch. Although this film is not very successful, it hopes to become the cornerstone of Eric's future performance, because the director of this film is the director of "L.A. Confidential", and the screenwriter has written "Forrest Gump", "The Insider", "Munich" , "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" - it is estimated that this film was made by the two taking a nap~~
