A Review

Read Time: 1 min read

Rating: 2 out of 5.

A film about a gambling man who goes for a huge run on his money when picked up by a local richman.

After meeting an old man at the casino, Jack is offered a job with big rewards, and he knows he can’t turn it down. Drinking and having a good time with the old man, Jack starts to think he might have made a mistake when Duffy, the old man, begins betting him to do strange things for large sums of money that he just happens to have. After being asked to leave a strip club, Jack returns to Duffy’s place to hear his proposal for “The Deal.” Upon entering his home for only a few minutes, Jack is introduced to Duffy’s 4th wife—his girl in captivity.

The bets start getting even stranger. Duffy first bets Jack that he can have sex with his wife, and only a few moments later, he raises the stakes, betting an even higher amount to watch. From there, the real chaos begins, and the movie truly takes off.

It starts off a bit slow and confusing, so the beginning might leave you wondering what’s going on. However, as the scenes progress and you analyze the characters, the story begins to piece itself together, and you’ll quickly understand the overall plot.

It’s not the best movie I’ve seen in this genre of a man betting strangers to do crazy things for money. A film I watched recently, Cheap Thrills, is actually much better in my opinion—definitely a must-watch if you’re into this type of movie.

If you enjoy thrillers, betting, life risks, somewhat predictable plotlines, and life resolutions, give this movie a watch.

The Creator (2023)

“The Creator” stumbles hard trying to be deep sci-fi. It throws out big ideas, but delivers empty spectacle, bland characters, and lore dumps with zero payoff. Pretty visuals, zero soul. Just vibes—and not good ones.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

Reboots, retcons, and Megan Fox’s questionable enthusiasm—this TMNT leans into absurdity with charm. The turtles’ banter and action scenes save it, proving some franchises thrive on pure fun. Leave logic at the door; embrace the childhood joy of mutant martial arts.

Mortal Kombat (2021)

MK2021 is a joyless, half-baked punch-up—all setup, no payoff. The fights are chopped into confetti, the plot is lore sludge, and the gore is shockingly tame. Even nostalgia can’t save this from feeling like a bad fan film.
