Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Memorable, crazy movie

A lot of fun.

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

**SPIOLERS WITHIN**Four Dogs Playing Poker had a very good premise. Unfortunately, the plot gaps kill the movie. The following are issues I had with the movie:1. In a game of life or death, they let one person go into the bank to place the life insurance policies in the safe deposit boxes. Ultimately, this leads to the demise of the other characters. Are you kidding me?? Gee, you think she might cheat the other people and save her own life?? Surely not. Lets trust her to go in alone.2. There is no way they could have collected on life insurance policies that quickly, especially in a situation as suspicious as it would have been.3. Incriminating messages are left on various answering machines. These people are apparently not too bright. I will stop at this point, although I could go on forever. The acting was mediocre AT BEST. A couple of scenes were really corny, including the leaping between buildings and the woman falling off the ladder. If you are looking for a movie that is realistic, this is absolutely not it. 5 out of 10.

I don't know much about movies in general, and I don't understand what "film noir" is. The only thing I can say about this film is that the first scenes in Argentina were very poorly done, it was obvious that they didn't film it here. I was really upset when I saw those people speaking mexican in the Buenos Aires port. The rest of the film was too predictable for me.I give it a 3 out of 10.

Based on R2 CDClever little story that begins with art heist and ends with twist, along the way it touches on love, friendship and betrayal. The four lead characters turn in decent performances with Balthazar Getty (Julian) being perhaps the strongest. Forest Whitaker is very good as the 'ruthless not cheap' Mr. Ellington.Avoid spoilers, the twist is worth the wait.7/10 well worth watching.

There is one thing I dislike the most about certain movies, and this is when they pretend to be smart, well-made, and to be something, while they indeed lack details, arguments, script, and the acting capacity of its stars is not even considered. This is all about "Four Dogs Playing Poker". At a certain moment you feel that you left your brain somewhere else, because you can't believe what you are seeing. One can be mislead, though. You see big names, i.e., Tim Curry, Forrest Whitaker, playing small roles, and you immediately presume that you are in front of a piece-of-art that has convinced those big names to work almost for free just to help a young and gifted director. I don't want to judge their intentions, but I can tell that the only good thing about "Four Dogs Playing Poker" is that keep you all the time filling up all the details that are missing. I don't want to tell you what details are missing, I prefer that you rent the movie, see it when you have nothing to do, and challenge your brain to find out all those things that make no sense at all. If the movie wanted to play a little bit serious, it should have joked about the stupid idea of its main characters, and show how unproductive it was at the end. That would have at least save the day. In a scale of 1 to 10, let not be so hard on them, let's give a 3+.
