‘Poker Face’ Trailer: Russell Crowe Directs & Stars In High Stakes Poker Thriller Out November 16

In 2014, Russell Crowe made his directorial debut with “The Water Diviner,” about an Australian farmer who travels to Turkey after World War II to find his three sons who never returned. Critics weren’t high on the movie, but it fared well with audiences; at least with those who saw it. The film was a modest box-office success, making $38.2 million off its $22.5 million budget.

Now, Crowe returns to the director’s chair with “Poker Face,” a thriller set in the world of high-stakes poker. In the film, Crowe plays a tech billionaire who sets up a poker game for his best friends to win big, but there’s a catch involved.

Here’s the film’s official synopsis:

Set in the world of high stakes poker, Crowe stars as tech billionaire and gambler Jake Foley who gives his best friends a night they’ll never forget, a chance to win more money than they’ve ever dreamed of. But to play, they’ll have to give up the one thing they spend their lives trying to keep…their secrets. As the game unfolds, the friends will discover what is really at stake.

Alongside Crowe, “Poker Face” also stars Liam Hemsworth, RZA, and Elsa Pataky. Matt Nable, Jacqueline McKenzie, Lynn Gilmartin, and Daniel MacPherson also star. Along with acting and directing, Crowe co-writes the movie with Stephen M. Coates.
