Gutshot Straight

A professional gambler finds himself in a desperate situation when he must win a high-stakes poker game to save his life. He must overcome formidable opponents and his own inner demons to survive the night. The stakes are impossibly high, with his life hanging in the balance.

Gutshot Straight received a generally mixed to negative reception from critics and audiences. While some appreciated its attempts at a gritty crime thriller and the performances of its cast, many found the plot predictable and lacking originality. The film struggled to stand out in the crowded genre, with a low overall score across major review aggregation sites.

• The film is a by-the-numbers crime thriller that offers little in the way of surprise.
• Performances are serviceable but can't elevate a derivative script.
• Lacks the tension and excitement expected from a poker-centric thriller.
