Gallo plays a compulsive gambler who, after a losing streak, accepts an offer by a local underworld figure (Sorvino) to rob a high stakes poker game hosted by a rich banker (Knepper).
Convinced that the bankers will be easy prey, they steal a car to raise enough money for the buy-in.
Chips and Bobby easily eliminate the bankers, and when they are the only ones left, Turk takes out a suitcase that contains $250,000.
Although Chips is frustrated with their over-the-top entrance and lack of warning over the tear gas, he splits the take with them; both receive $50,000.
Bobby repays his mother, settles his debts, and upgrades her care to include a new experimental drug.
Chips provides an alibi for him, telling Turk that he has security footage of Bobby at the gaming hall.
[3] Justin Lowe of The Hollywood Reporter called it "even less compelling than a game of gin rummy with grandma".
[6] Brad Wheeler of The Globe and Mail rated it 1/4 stars and described it as "a poker-based heist film that deals in clichés".
