Tommy realises he can regain his own self confidence; repair his pride and a win a poker championship title by turning Alex into his protege. The two pair up and soon every tournament they enter is theirs but this winning streak and their friendship is eventually thwarted by the interference of Las Vegas call girl Michelle.

Predictable but entertaining if you like poker
20 Oct 2009
Format:DVD
Alex is a college graduate whose parents got him a job at a law firm, but what he really wants to do is play poker. He meets Tommy Vinson, a former poker pro who promised his wife 20 years ago that he'd never play again, and has kept his promise. Tommy becomes Alex's mentor and stakes him in tournaments.
"Deal" has some not-so-subtle product placement (PokerStars and World Poker Tour) and the story is like a poker remake of "The Color of Money", but the actors are good and it's entertaining if you like poker and don't mind that it's a bit predictable. Several poker pros appear as themselves, including Antonio Esfandiari, Greg Raymer, Joe Hachem and Phil Laak, whose girlfriend Jennifer Tilly also appears, not as herself but as a poker pro. 3 stars.

Worst Poker movie ever!
24 May 2012
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This movie blows! The only good part in the entire movie is Shannon Elizabeth's 5 minutes of fame. If you love poker and texas hold 'em movies then don't watch this one! If you want two good ones to watch then definitely check out Rounders (Collector's Edition) or Lucky You Rounders is a really great Poker movie and Lucky You is a good 2nd place finish. Don't waste your money on Deal!
Fun, Fun, Fun...Till Daddy Took the Girl Away

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great fun for card players and solid acting makes this an enjoyable movie. It's all about risk...love...and trust. The plot is predictable as it unfolds, but this flick hits the mark. Bret Harrison and Burt Reynolds hold this film together. The rookie and his mentor square off in the world of gambling and within the world of reality. Shannon Elizabeth's brief but poignant role glues the storyline together. Four stars for the pure entertainment value.
