Steven Segal to Star in Poker Movie ‘Gutshot Straight': Watch the Trailer

Hollywood actor Steven Segal is set to star in a new poker flick called “Gutshot Straight”, due to be released September 1, 2014.

The film is directed by Justin Steele and also stars George Eads, best known for his work on “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation”.  Eads will be executive producing the project as well.

In a recent interview, Eads described the main character of the upcoming film: “He’s an alcoholic gambling addict who has given up on himself. A hustler whose speciality is reading people, kind of the nuances he’s able to put people in a box rather quickly. The mob is after him and he could lose his wife, child and life. It’s full of bad people [laughs] and he kind of falls in with them. I really kind of took a piece from a lot of different movies that I enjoy, like Jack Nicholson in Chinatown and Bruce Willis in Pulp Fiction. Hopefully I redeem myself in the film; we still have a couple of days left on it here in L.A., but it’s going to be gooood.”

Okay, our two cents….you know might not be on the road to getting nominated for an Academy Award when the trailer has cuss words.

Watch the trailer below.
