Deal Ratings & Reviews
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
They've got to do something else with these poker movies.
Killer Movie Reviews
Andrea Chase
There is more complexity in a sub-par episode of the Teletubbies than in anything to be found in Deal
Las Vegas Review-Journal
Carol Cling
There are plenty of movies that prove entertaining despite their familiarity; this isn't one of them.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
Reynolds doesn't convey any of the lightning bolt insouciance that made him arguably the greatest movie star of the '70s and '80s (really) but rather just stands there.
The Hollywood Reporter
Michael Rechtshaffen
Success isn't in the cards for this plodding poker drama.
E! Online
Alex Markerson
You've got to know when to walk away from a movie like this: right away, and that's only if you can't run.
Christian Science Monitor
M. K. Terrell
A raft of pros appear as themselves, but this story will likely seem less exciting than an actual competition.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Deal could use a touch of the slickness that's making the blackjack drama 21 such a greasy hit.
Boxoffice Magazine
Pete Hammond
Thoroughly predictable in every way including an obvious ending that tries unsuccessfully to bluff the audience, Deal feels fake and trite.
The Deadbolt
Brian Tallerico
About now is when a critic would throw in a reference to a low poker hand to compare it to, but Deal can't even rise to a pair of twos.
Worcester Telegram & Gazette
Daniel M. Kimmel
...a movie making a brief stop at local theaters on its way to DVD bargain bins and cable showings at two in the morning.
Los Angeles CityBeat
Andy Klein
Director/co-writer Gil Cates Jr. gives us a by-the-numbers execution of a by-the-numbers story, which would barely be movie-of-the-week material but for [Burt] Reynolds's "star power."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
Deal has to take the title of the worst film ever about the game and that includes the how-to videos with Joan Rivers impersonators you see in your Vegas hotel room.
Tolucan Times
Tony Medley
...with production values akin to a 1940s B-movie, the story is derivative, the acting embarrassing.
UR Chicago Magazine
Mark Dujsik
Cares about poker just a bit more than it cares about the characters, and the movie doesn't give a shit about its characters.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
A product of the recent poker craze, this can't compare with the movie that helped launch it, John Dahl's tense Rounders.
Variety
John Anderson
Deal is perhaps too briskly paced: The narrative moves along a bit too fleetingly for any genuine character development.
Philadelphia Daily News
Gary Thompson
A poker movie that has the dubious honor of being even worse than Lucky You.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Moving slowly these days, Burt Reynolds does less than no acting in this role, and he's still the best thing in Deal.
L.A. Weekly
Tim Grierson
Deal is fatally earnest: It honestly believes it's the first poker film to have a mentor character tell his young protg that success in cards is similar to success in life.
