The movie stars Eric Palladino (The Speed of Thought, The Space Between us), James Earl Jones (Field of Dreams, The Hunt for Red October), Mathew Lillard (Mad Love, Scream), Ryan Reynolds (The Proposal, In Cold Blood), Dash Mihok (Fofire, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang), Carry Pope (Sexting, First to Die), Robert Forster (Firewall, Jackie Brown), Francis Bay (The Simple Life of Noah Dearborn,Twins), Colleen Wheeler (X-Men:Evolution), and Louis Chirillo (Johnny Test).
The plot is Palladino plans to propose to his girlfriend after his poker game. The night takes a turn when he finds a wallet with a $6 million lottery ticket, He has already called the owners brother-in law
to tell him where to pick up the wallet.
The next door neighbor has a nice scene at the start of the movie. The first scene after the neighbor went on a little too long. There was a lot wrong with this movie. For one thing Jeff Probst (Survivor tv) desperatly needs to hire someone better to do reasearch his screenplay (he also directed). Jeff its no limit poker not what your actors used 3 or 4 times.
A lot of the middle of the move had dialogue that was not that good or interistng. The movie seemed it was trying to be The Big Chill (not exactly the referance I am looking for.) If just did not get to where it was trying to get. At its heart its a movie about human nature, trust, truth and what people are really like when they are returned to primal instincts.
The best part of the movie is the ending. It saved the movie for me. It took an avarage movie and made it worth my time. Maybe Im tired and did not see the ending but it was great Im rating the movie as a C+ to B-.
