When you become a detective in Warsaw Indiana - you go to Poker Night, where you play against some of the best cops in the business. They tell you stories about their time on the job - their successes and failures. When new Detective Stan Jeter leaves the game, he is caught by a vicious psychopath and locked in a basement. Using the stories he heard at Poker Night, he must match wits against his captor -and save not only himself, but the young girl trapped in the basement with him. Like Seven and The Usual Suspects, Poker Night combines thrills and twists and turns that will leave you guessing till the very end. (Eagle Entertainment)

Perhaps towards the end, it becomes so tangled that it's actually simple, but the overall concept of how it's told and the intriguing and eccentric characters make this enjoyable for me. Moreover, the main villain has a fantastic mask, even though it's slightly borrowed from the horror film The Collector. It's very good for a thriller, and very scary in places.

Although I disliked the first half of the film and was slightly lost, the second half had me riveted to my seat and entertained me decently until the end. A perfect mask (sorry The Collector), decent dialogue, cool stories, after a long time flashbacks that were not annoying, violence, darkness, poker and even a bit of perversion. 70%
