Critics' reviews
  • "When you're working with clearly conventional material, it helps to attack it from a cockeyed angle or at least adopt a gritty, lived-in urgency, but Deal is fatally earnest."
  • "There's no compelling reason to see Deal. Everything it offers is familiar to the extent where even though it's not a remake, it feels like one."
  • "The end result and its characters have all the originality and dramatic depth of a TV telecast."
  • "The main pleasure of this high-stakes-poker drama is watching a septuagenarian Burt Reynolds effortlessly revive his 70s screen persona as a strutting paragon of male shrewdness and sexuality."
  • "Cates understands the game and its dramas a lot better than he understands people and theirs."
  • "To think that a semi-major studio financed a production this low-rent and listless is amazing: Since when did MGM start making student films?"
  • "Public fascination with Texas Hold 'em and other poker variations will likely bolster B.O., though more discriminating auds may choose to pass."
