dbborroughs When an intruder is found in the house during the weekly poker game the buddies end up killing him. Deciding not to call the police they dump the body and swear secrecy. Unfortunately things turn deadly in the aftermath as someone starts looking for revenge and past misdeeds start to be aired. On top of that the body the thought was well hidden is discovered by the police… This is a good little thriller that moves along at a good clip. Its brief running time, its about 80 minutes assures that things keep moving. The brevity also works against the film in some ways since there are times when some of the characters get lost, I had to pause to think about who was whom since the names to faces didn't seem to really stick with me. Worth seeing as a rental or on cable. Between 6 and 7 out of 10

I_Really_Love_Movies Action right out of the gate on this one. The main character, Aaron, has several friends over his house for a poker game. A burglar breaks in, and they kill the guy by mistake. They decide, since they've been doing drugs and drinking, to dump the body instead of report it. If you can get past this bad move, you're in for some fast moving fun. The story shows Aaron's world falling apart, the result of jealousy, infidelity, and tensions already going on his in life boiling to the surface. There are several bloody action sequences (this film is not for kids!). Finally, Aaron realizes how all of the violence happened because of a decision he had made during a careless moment. All in all, a very good film. There's tension from start to finish, very good acting, and finally a moral point to pull it all together. Highly recommended.

hausrathman Johnathon Schaech does that thing he does best playing Aaron Tyler, who hosts of a weekly poker game of his old friends. The game is interrupted by the appearance of a burglar, whose death leads everyone into a devastating spiral of treachery and deceit. The film takes some rather surprising liberties with the Ed Gorman novel, but it works on its own level thanks to the sure-handed direction of Tim McCann and the cast. Aside from the always reliable Schaech, I particularly enjoyed Johnny Messner as a cynical former baseball player, now a strip club owner, and Judy Reyes. It was good seeing her outside of her Scrubs. (Not that we see her completely out of her Scrubs, if you know what I mean.) Well worth a look.

rstone-27 I gave this one a 6/10 because of the twists involved. It was a very enjoyable movie, moved along very well, the actors were very good.With all of the trash out on the market now days, its nice to see a good drama that catches your attention and keeps it.I am not much for drama, but this is one I would recommend. I feel it will be one of the best missed movies of 2009.Johnathon Schaech is riveting in this role. I know that most of the critics will give this one a low score just because there are no big names in it, but don't let that miss-lead you... This is a good movie to watch, not a waste of time or money.
