I wouldn't say you'd have to like poker to like it though. Like you said, it's really well acted and it's not only about poker. To me, that's kinda like not recommending Kingpin because someone doesn't like bowling or Rudy because someone doesn't like football. Although I do like poker, so my view could be slanted.

Well I didn't say you have to like poker to like the film, just that if you're not into poker then it might bore you a bit. Like you said it's not all about poker but unlike Rudy in which they barely even display a field, poker is all throughout the movie. So you might like it, it's just that when the frequent poker scenes pop up ya might be a little lost for a moment.

It's like you're watching a movie that involves football but isn't completely about football and you come up on a scene of practice. Coach is walking around talking about pulling guards,hitch and go,cover 2 ect. ect. Someone not into football would be a little lost on that particular scene, that's all I was trying to imply.

(as you can tell, I'm a lil crappy at explaining things,hope you got the point.)
