About This Movie

So, 'Small Blind' (2023) dives into the gritty world of high-stakes poker with this sci-fi twist. The atmosphere is tense, almost electric, capturing the intensity of the game while interweaving some clever tech elements that feel fresh but not overbearing.

They bring a raw edge, especially the lead, who balances desperation and brilliance effortlessly. What stands out is its blend of practical effects with modern tech, giving it a unique feel. It’s not just a poker film; it’s about the human psyche and the lengths people go to reclaim what’s lost.
