Turn the River

Thanks to a review by hikergirl_tx I have become aware of an explanation for an ending I previously considered so completely bizarre I thought I had a faulty copy of the DVD. If you have concerns about the ending check out her review. My assessment pretty much coincides with everyone else's. A little short on plot, a horrible pointless title (unless there was some untapped potential audience among poker players, which there isn't since those people never leave the casino,) very little action, pool scenes that are staged to make a few trick shots look like actual expertise etc. The movie is quite dark, with adequate to excellent performances all around, but again - that ending.
