I saw this trailer at apple trailers page a while ago and have been looking forward to this release. Lets see if this film lives up to its 8.0 IMDB rating. It is released by famous scene group SAPHiRE in the form of a DVDScreener, which is good news. This movie is essentially about poker, but more about loosing in poker. Some pretty recognizable faces appear in this film. People who aren’t A-listers but have appeared in major television shows or films, such as Richard Kind, Woody Harrelson, Mike Epps and a personal favourite of mine David Cross (gotta love Arrested Development).
Quality: Image quality looks crisp, clear and fully saturated at a decent 774kb/s bitrate and the audio is above average at 151kb/s. There is a rather annoying blurred watermark at the bottom of the screen but this is not unusual for a DVDScreener. No B/W scenes.
In the tradition of such improv-driven comedies as BEST IN SHOW and A MIGHTY WIND, director Zak Penn (INCIDENT AT LOCH NESS) casts an affectionate eye on the world of professional poker in his highly entertaining mockumentary, THE GRAND. Penn assembles an impressive ensemble of comedic performers and poker personalities to tell the story of six competitors in a $10 million winner-take-all Las Vegas poker tournament.
