Cold Deck

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".
