From the director of Boogie Nights and There Will Be Blood comes an intense crime thriller - Hard Eight.
Sydney (Philip Baker Hall) is a poker-faced professional gambler with a soft heart for a hard luck story. He plays guardian angel to unlucky John (John C. Reilly) and a hooker, Clementine (Gwyneth Paltrow), whom he grows to love like a family. When John and Clementine's honeymoon night leads to a disastrous hostage situation, Sydney takes care of it, as usual. But when slick casino pro Jimmy (Samuel L. Jackson) threatens to reveal a secret from Sydney's past that could destroy his relationship with the newlyweds, Sydney decides to hedge his bets and leaves nothing to chance.

Paul thomas anderson was cutting his teeth with his first effort Hard eight,Before he went all Epic character peices with Boogie nights,Magnolia and the Huge" There Will be blood.Its definatly worth a look,it,s got a nice performance from John c reily,A Sleazy Samuel l jackson performance,and it certainly has a alot of touches that he would explore further in later films.It,s a No brainer thou for fans of the Director and people who want to see his first film.Theres also a brilliant scene with the great Philip seymour hoffman who has a cameo as a totally obnoxious Casino player.
