Poker Face (2022)
5/10
Seriously?
19 November 2022
I give this 5 because the location filming and scenery are pretty spectacular. Is Russell Crowe running out of steam? Too many loose ends in this film, completely unrealistic story line and a poison that makes no sense at all. Performances are either totally over the top (Tassone), or seemingly just repeating lines (Pataky). This could have been much better written and thought out, for example all of a sudden the story comes to an end very unexpectedly when you're waiting (praying) for something meaningful to happen. Many questions remain, and I truly hope this doesn't mean that Crowe is planning a sequel. 5/10 is pretty accurate IMHO.

warmhearted little story

Todd R and John A put in good performances. This film is much talked about here in the Netherlands. It's a sort of story we like about friendships. The style of acting reminded me a lot of The Scarlet Pimpernel: majestic and glorious and really very friendly and certainly a breath of fresh air in the arena of over-budgetted films the mindless riff raff are prone to watch day in day out, sorry no cheap aims here, just making a point in defense of this rather good work. I myself have had a similar experience a couple times to the protagonist of this story so i can identify, and relate, certainly resonates. Watch this film, it's really got something.
