he “All In” with Burt Reynolds is primarily a typical American production: a bit of action paired with a love story and the well-tried arc of suspense that was used for every Aristotelian drama in antiquity. Is the film only for poker fans or not to be recommended at all?
Despite Burt Reynolds in the lead role, director Gil Cates Jr.’s All In isn’t exactly a success. When the film premiered in the United States in 2008, it grossed a sobering $35,281 in its opening weekend in 50 US theaters.

Be as cool as James Bond in Casino Royale, take part in a poker tournament, have a pile of cash at your disposal and cleverly wrest even more of it from your opponent. What could be better? Apart from the fact that on the scale of coolness in real life nobody comes close to the bastard Bond, the film did at least do one thing: it triggered poker mania. If you used to meet up with friends to watch football and drink beer, today you meet at the kitchen table and bring the green yourself. The ball no longer flies, but the chips, but beer is still drunk. Very American, somehow.
