It's a film that is exactly what you expect. It's small budget fun. The whole thing was probably made for the lunch budget of an aweful big budget film such as Godzilla.... Full review

For a movie that's all about the rush of the game, "Deal" is woefully lacking in excitement.....In their highly derivative, embarrassingly hollow poker drama "Deal," writers Gil Cates, Jr.....Yet the screenplay fails the character on every level.....Cates' flat direction and the constant voiceover work saps the remaining energy from the moment..... ...
