Double Down South

In rural Georgia, skilled billiards player Diana (Lili Simmons) drives up to a secret Keno pool gambling house. It is an old mouldy plantation mansion run by Nick (Kim Coates). Diana seems to be new to Keno, but Nick seizes the opportunity to take her under his wing.

I have never seen this game being played and it is fascinating. I really like this tiny little world. This game seems set up for the night to end in violence. It is crazy to keep doubling the bet without the ability to stop it. Once the DuBinion flashback happens, the twist becomes rather obvious. The more improbable twist would be for the story to go straight. Maybe, Lili shouldn't do the generalized southern accent. She could be a Canadian tourist traveling the States looking for the perfect pool experience. I do like some of the reveal although some do need a bit of changing. All in all, I like this little world even if it is clunky at times.
