Wonderful character development!

Truly Dreadful Film

terrible... so disappointed.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

This is one of the best biopic documentaries I have seen & seeing a blind man performing world's best card game is even more intruguing.

Ha! Man, go into this knowing nothing! This is a spoiler free review, just because this is the type of film you should go into without any knowledge if you can help it. Because you want to get the biggest bang for your buck. I fold!

The least you can say is that I'm not a big fan of magic. It always bothered me a bit before. Knowing there is a trick but not knowing how they did it is just annoying to me. So I didn't have high hopes before watching this biography. But I have to admit I was deeply impressed. Not really by the magic, because we all know there is a trick. With alot of practice anyone could manage those tricks. But the amazing thing was that Richard Turner is blind. He won't like to read it, but there is no shame of being blind, it's just the way it is. What makes his tricks exceptional is the fact that he does this all being blind. I just find it amazing. And not alone his magic, but everything else he achieved in life. He's a very inspiring person for others. Never give up and one day you will succeed. Big thumbs up to him and his family. The only thing I will never understand is how people with a handicap will continue believe in a God, and still pray to him. I know there is no God, there is proof enough, but it still amazes me that handicapped people continue believing that kind of crap. Anyways, this biography is well done and is certainly worth watching.

I've had the joy of seeing Richard Turner perform many times over the last 23 years. No one else on earth has ever had his skills with a deck of cards. This is partly because no one approaches his character or work ethic. So I was anxious to see Dealt, and I was not disappointed. I expected this to be a movie about overcoming great odds to become the best. Of course it was, but it was much more. It turns out that the love and humanity of Richard's family is as great as Richard's skill with cards. We're left to wonder: where does such love and commitment come from? Dealt is a movie you can see again and again. I recommend it to everyone.
