Lots of us have enjoyed a poker night with a group of friends, munching on
snacks and engaging in banter while hopefully winning a small fortune.
2013's Poker Night, starring Benz Antoine and Alex Appel, features a far less
cozy night of gambling. After watching, you may prefer to stick with
online poker at a site like
20Bet.
The movie's protagonist is Marty. He's house-sitting for his parents, who
have gone off for a weekend trip. Hearing of his situation, his friends
convince him to host a poker night at his parents' house.
This is no regular poker night however. The winner will be treated to a
night with a hooker!
When Marty’s neighbour Ed finds out about the special terms of the poker
night, he insists on joining in. Another sub-plot develops when Ed’s young
daughter Sybil (Kristin Fairlie) has a crush on Marty and attempts
to scupper the game in fear that her love will win and hook up with a lady
of the night.
The guys hire a top class escort, only to find she's way out of their
league, both in her pricing and her poker skills!
Written and directed by Chris John and working with a relatively miniscule
budget, Poker Night will make you rethink your future home poker nights.
