To quote [livejournal.com profile] ev1ldonut:

"So Ted, tell us about that dealer button..."

EDIT: Spoilers in the comments...

So is that a good or a bad thing?

There's a TV programme called 'Late Night Poker' where the two announcers continually go on about the dealer button. In the film they started talking through the intricacies of the game, and it felt very much like watching the tv programme again and being patronised for the umpteenth time about the dealer button.. :)

It was good, actually. I actually found myself welling up at the shower scene. It was a lot more gritty than the usual Hollywood blockbuster, and seemed to contain a lot more emotion too - all good in my books. I found myself wondering why the movie was carrying on after the casino, but it became apparent later on.
