Poker Night

• Thriller
• Action
• Crime
• Horror

A claustrophobic thriller unfolds as a rookie detective finds himself the unwilling participant in a deadly, high-stakes game orchestrated by a chillingly meticulous psychopath. Rather than a standard cat-and-mouse chase, the film utilizes fragmented flashbacks to “Poker Nights” – informal training sessions with seasoned, morally ambiguous investigators – revealing the unorthodox methods and psychological strategies essential for survival. These vividly rendered, character-driven interludes contrast sharply with the detective’s desperate present, creating a tense, non-linear narrative where the rules of deduction are constantly shifting and the lines between hunter and hunted blur. The film explores the corrupting influence of experience and the compromises made in the pursuit of justice, ultimately questioning the very foundations of detective work, moving beyond simple action to a psychologically unsettling examination of mentorship and trauma.
