Curiously dull - Four Dogs Playing Poker review by JD
Despite a plot with which it should be relatively easy to create a thrilling drama I was bored to sleep by some incredibly average acting. Only Whitaker brought a glimmer of class and he was involved for about 5 minutes. Without this it would be a one star.
