Hey what’s up guys
Today I’ll show you a crime thriller film: “Poker Night”
Spoilers ahead, watch out and take care
A rookie detective, Stan, has just finished playing poker with his senior officers
Stan gets in his car; but before he can drive away,
he receives a call from dispatch about a nearby incident
He responds and quickly drives to the venue
He arrives and runs into a girl, who looks as if she has just been beaten up
The girl runs away; and Stan chases her into a nearby forest
He finally catches up to her, and recognizes her as Amy, his secret underage lover
She tells Stan to run; but he gets tased by a mysterious figure
Amy also gets shocked by the collar around her neck
Some while later, Stan wakes up, blindfolded in a small room
The door opens; and the mysterious figure brings in a TV
He opens it, and forces Stan to watch a news broadcast about his disappearance
The broadcast also introduced him as a local hero,
who single-handedly took down a notorious criminal, known as the Teacher
The stranger reveals his snake mask, and injects Stan with a tranquilizer
While unconscious, Stan flashes back to their poker game a few nights ago
one of Stan’s seniors tells a story about how he used to tail a person suspected of double murder
but the case was closed due to insufficient evidence
The senior later finds the suspect’s car outside the bar
He buys the unknowing suspect a drink, and tells him that he is a cop,
and that he is celebrating how he finally found the bodies of his two friends, who were murdered
The suspect gets unsettled, and thinks that he might have been caught
So he drives to the burial place later that evening, not knowing that the senior follows him
The senior takes pictures of him, and reports them to his boss
They find the two bodies in the morning, and arrest the suspect
The story ends; and the guys move to the poker table to play
Floyd, another senior officer, tries to pick a fight with Stan;
but Mike arrives and calms them down
They move to the table; and a veteran cop explains the rules
If any one of the senior cops wins a hand, they tell a story from their years working as a cop
This is how the rookie can learn from the experience of others, without having to risk his own life
Stan asks what he gets if he wins; but they dismiss him,
as no rookie has won against them yet in ten years
Back to the present, Stan wakes up from his dream; and Snake talks to him
Snake tells him about his old life, and how he used to have a wife and a normal job,
but got sick of trying and failing to make ends meet
He decided to change his life, and set two goals:
to have sex with little girls, and kill anyone who stops him from doing so
Snake then kills his own family, and burns down his own house
The story is interrupted by an alarm; and Snake tranquilizes Stan before leaving
Stan hears Amy screaming, but can’t help her as he falls asleep
Flashback to before poker night, Amy is missing; and Mike interrogates Stan
He asks Stan if he is in a relationship with the underage Amy
but Stan denies it
Stan then remembers how Amy used to call him at work, and ask him to meet her at night
Stan finally snaps out of it; and Mike tells him to be careful,
so that the department’s reputation will not be damaged
Back to the present, Stan finally wakes up, and hears Amy screaming from the other room
They talk; and Stan finds out that Snake knew that he and Amy were dating in secret
Amy tells Stan that Snake comes into her room sometimes, and drugs her before raping her
She tells Stan that she can hear Snake’s car when he leaves the house
So they should leave while he is gone
Flashback to poker night, Byron, Stan’s senior,
tells Stan to imagine himself in the story that he is about to tell
He then tells a story about an old murder case
The killer’s DNA was found at the crime scene
but they couldn’t find a match for it, so they couldn’t identify the killer
Eight years had passed without a match, until a random handyman found a bunch of panties,
blocking a vent in one house in the neighborhood
They traced the old owner of the house, and found the suspect working at a video store
However, the guy was alert, and knew that Byron was a cop
He runs out; and Byron chases him to an alley
The killer enters a car, and runs Byron over, injuring his leg
The suspect tries to run; but Byron crawls to his gun, and shoots the suspect in the head
The story ends; and Byron tells Stan never to give up
Back to the present, remembering Byron’s words, Stan breaks loose from the chair,
but accidentally pierces his arm with wood from the chair
He also finds a tattoo of Amy, that Snake put on his arm
He escapes the room, and finds a hidden passage to Amy’s room
He tells her that he will find tools to get her chains off and call the police
He removes the wood chip from his arm and leaves
Amy picks up the sharp piece of wood to use for protection
He climbs upstairs and starts looking for the phone; but hears Snake’s car in the driveway
He hides and grabs a phone
Snake enters the house, but doesn’t see Stan
As Snake walks away, Stan enters a dark room
He sees a surveillance system, and photos of himself and Amy secretly dating
He grabs a box cutter and leaves
Stan finds a mysterious figure in the living room, and cuts its head off
However, this is just a fake; and the real Snake appears behind Stan, and tases him
Snake drags him to the basement, and beats him up
Stan dreams of poker night once more
This time, the veteran cop tells a story about the double murder of a couple,
whose son was the sole suspect
They release the son after interrogating him; but the veteran still suspects him
He brings the son to the family’s house,
and asks him to retell what happened on the night of his parents’ murder
The veteran cop gets the son to admit that
his parents weren’t the good people that they appeared to be
he tells the veteran cop that his parents beat him up, and sexually abused him
Shortly after, the son finally confesses that he got fed up, and killed his own parents
Back in the present, Stan wakes up, glued to the wall after getting caught
Snake tells Stan that after killing his family,
he got a mentor to teach him how to be a better criminal
His mentor taught him how to abduct kids, and do other crimes
Eventually, Snake learned enough, and wanted to be on his own again
The story ends; and Snake tells Stan to figure out why he was the one chosen to be a victim
He tranquilizes Stan before leaving
Snake then enters Amy’s room, and tells her that he doesn’t need her anymore
He tells her to call her family to have them pick her up, and tosses her the keys and the phone
Amy calls her father, who is revealed to be the senior cop, Floyd
She asks her dad to pick her up
but Snake grabs the phone,
and tells Floyd to bring ten thousand dollars to an abandoned house, in exchange for Amy
He tells Floyd to come alone, or else his daughter dies
Right then, Stan flashes back to poker night once more
Floyd tells the group how he was investigating a serial murder case,
where victims had their pinkies cut off
The lead suspect was a fashion photographer,
that allegedly lured his victims with the promise of stardom
He brought his victims to the woods, and played nasty games with them,
before cutting off their pinkies and killing them
To gather more evidence, Floyd goes undercover as a model
The photographer brings him to the woods, and ties him to a tree
He undresses Floyd, and pulls out a knife
When the photographer goes to cut his pinky,
Floyd desperately calls out the code word for the snipers to shoot
but the snipers are all distracted; and Floyd is left on his own
To save himself, Floyd asked the killer for a last tongue massage
So the killer obliges, but gets headbutted and falls to the ground
Backup finally arrives; and Floyd and his team arrest the killer
Fast forward to the present, Floyd shows up at Snake’s house after the ransom call
Floyd points his gun at a passerby, thinking that he is Amy’s kidnapper
The man frantically tells Floyd that he got the wrong person; and Floyd releases him
While walking back to his car, Floyd gets tased by the passerby, who pretended to be innocent
The man drags Floyd’s body into the car, and drives off
Later that day, Stan wakes up, and pulls his leg from the wall, and kicks the pipes beside him
This causes the pipe above to break and fall on him, knocking him out again
He is later awakened by Amy calling to him
He grabs a chair, and breaks the wall behind him, leading him directly to Amy’s room
He hugs Amy
but they hear Snake return; so he tells Amy to hide
Snake arrives with Floyd in tow, revealing that he is indeed the man from earlier
He checks the CCTV feed, and notices Stan missing from his room
He goes down to the basement with a gun
Snake opens the door to Stan’s room, and gets hit by Stan who is hiding behind the door
Stan grabs Snake’s gun and shoots him
but Amy tells him to stop
Stan suddenly hears clapping; and another man wearing Snake’s mask, enters the room
Confused, Stan removes the mask from the person that he just shot, and sees it’s Floyd
He realizes that he got tricked, as the real Snake was hiding outside the whole time
He tries to attack Snake, but to no success
Beside them, Amy cries at her father’s death
Snake mockingly comforts her;
but Amy grabs the wooden shard from earlier, and stabs him in the neck
Snake retaliates and knocks Amy out
Later on, Stan wakes up in his room, with his hands tied to the ceiling
While incapacitated, he remembers the case that made him a local hero
In the flashback, He was inspecting a cargo yard, and climbed up to get a better view of the place
After climbing up to get a better view, he found an electric cord, and followed it to a container
He entered the container, but recoiled at the foul smell inside
He looked around, only to see dead bodies hanging inside the container
He then found a laptop with pictures of the bodies
Suddenly, the container door opened, and someone entered
In a panic, he shot the guy,
but soon found out that the person was the notorious criminal, known as the Teacher
Stan snaps out of the memory in the present,
and is filled with regret after shooting his senior colleague Floyd
Right then, the door opens; and Mike enters
Apparently, Mike also came to the house to investigate their disappearance
After noticing a bandage on Snake’s neck,
Mike becomes suspicious of him, and asks to enter the house
After confirming that Mike has come alone without backup, Snake lets Mike in
They start talking; and Mike goes to make a call
Snake raises his gun to shoot him
but Mike turns around, and hits Snake on the head
Snake tries to shoot Mike from the floor
but Mike shoots first
Mike then heads to the basement, where he finds Stan
Mike calls for backup
but there is no signal inside the house
Mike tells Stan that he handcuffed Snake upstairs
However, Stan knows that Snake can easily escape handcuffs, and quickly tries to warn Mike
however, Snake suddenly appears in the room, and shoots Mike right in the head
Snake points the gun at Stan, but does not shoot
He instead knocks out Stan with a punch, keeping his shitty life for the following game
While unconscious, Stan starts hallucinating about poker night
In his vision, the other guys guide him through his escape from Snake
They tell Stan to think harder and never give up
Stan finally realizes that the Teacher was Snake’s beloved mentor
This is the reason why Snake specifically chose Stan as his victim
Soon after, he snaps out of his hallucination, and finds the keys on Mike’s body beside him
He kicks the keys up, and frees his hands
The door opens; and Stan pretends to sleep
When Snake goes to Mike’s body, Stan frees himself and chokes Snake with his chains
He then ties Snake up, and removes his mask to show his real face
Stan interrogates Snake
He finds out that the bodies found in the container back then,
were actually done by Snake, rather than the Teacher
It was apparently an offering to his mentor, the Teacher
When Stan killed the Teacher, the crimes were blamed on the Teacher; and Snake lost his life’s work
Frustrated at the loss of his mentor,
Snake remembers his rule to kill anyone, who interferes with his work
He then decided to get his revenge on Stan
after the revelation, Snake tells Stan that he is too late
Stan rushes to Amy’s room, and finds her drugged out
He carries her body out of the house, and picks up a gun along the way
Before leaving, he notices on the TV a recording of him,
shooting Floyd in the basement, which is attempted by Snake to set him up as the scapegoat
Stan runs out of the house
but the police are waiting outside
Because of his bloody outfit and the gun in his hand,
the police suspect him, and tell him to drop his weapon
He tells them to help Amy; but no one listens to him
He tries to drop the gun, but realizes that it is superglued to his hand
The police think he is about to shoot, and open fire on him
Stan is then arrested and jailed up for the killing
Months later, a prosecutor interrogates Stan
Stan tells her that he cannot really do anything,
since his DNA and video evidence was present at the crime scene
The jury is also put off by the fact that there was child pornography in the house,
and that he was dating a minor
The prosecutor then asks about Snake; and Stan tells her that Snake managed to escape
He tells the prosecutor that Amy has been in a coma for three months, due to a drug overdose
Back in his cell, Stan resolves to catch Snake when he gets out
His sentence is fortunately cut short by Amy, waking from her coma,
and telling the police what really happened
Because of that, Stan is released from prison
After his release, Stan continues to look for Snake
He eventually finds an underground room, where a girl is tied up
He goes to free the girl; but Snake approaches quietly from behind to ambush him
This time, Stan is prepared, and quickly turns around and shoots Snake dead
Years later, Stan, now a distinguished veteran himself,
goes to poker night to teach a new rookie some lessons
As they start playing, Stan silently remembers the time he took Snake down
He gets a flashback to the moment, just after he shot Snake in the underground room
He inspected Snake who was on the ground,
but got horrified upon finding the gun superglued to Snake’s hand
He removed the mask, and found a different person beneath it
Stan finally realizes that he was tricked yet again
Unable to deal with his mistake,
Stan led everyone else to believe that the person he shot was the real Snake
Because there is no one else who has seen Snake’s real face,
only Stan knows that the real Snake is still alive and well
