'The Deal' Trailer, Starring Silver Age Burt Reynolds

With poker card-themed movies like 21, The Grand, and now The Deal burping their way up from the late-night bowels of ESPN at an alarming rate, each needs a special gimmick to separate itself from the pack. 21 takes the loosely-based-on-a-true-story route; The Grand goes the way of wacky improvised characters. So how does The Deal set itself a part? It's the only one to star the withering face skin of Burt Reynolds, stretched tightly over an anonymous actor's face as a crude mask, the facial hair drawn in with marker to simulate the look of classic '80s Burt. Truly a horrifying touch.
