Storyline
Tiffany, Charlie and Vernon are con artists looking to up the ante from their typical scams. They figure a good way of doing this is taking down Dean "The Dean" Stevens, a well-known cardsharp, in a rigged game. However, they first need enough money to enter a game with Stevens, so they decide to strike a deal with fellow crook Larry Jennings to scam a local gangster -- which turns out to be a bad idea.

A clever and adroit B picture with A virtues, starting with its ensemble cast.
60
A dramatic thriller with a large cast playing the hell out of some very juicy roles. Nieman's script shuffles nimbly among an array of colorful characters and offers unexpected twists that keep you off-balance.

Variety
In the end, under-realized direction and characters deliver less than a full deck.
40
L.A. Weekly
The flashes of warm, human talent that pulse periodically from the ensemble -- Byrne and Foxx, particularly -- only make their presence in this terrifically bad movie all the more baffling.
25
Miami Herald
A failure on every conceivable level -- from its trite, pedestrian dialogue to its static, torturous pacing.
