- 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."
