Extremely disappointing film. The presence of some solid actors can't save this mess. This movie seems to try very hard to be something that it just can't pull off.
The lone bright spots were the performances of Ron Perlman, Giancarlo Esposito and the villain (whom I won't name so as to not spoil anything.
Esposito and Perlman gave good performances but their screen time was limited, don't go into this film thinking you'll see a lot of them.
The villain was probably the brightest spot in the film. The flashbacks featuring him were very funny and he was a very menacing character.
Poker night had precious few strong elements flanked by a great deal of terrible ones, it's not worth your time.
I strongly advise others to skip this film.
