The Hot Shoe

2003NR1h 36m

A Documentary Movie About Card Counting In The Casino Game of 21. The director used $5,000 of the movie's budget to learn the counting methods, and put them to the test on screen.

I'm very proud to present "The Hot Shoe," a movie I believe to be the most complete and accurate documentary about card counting ever made. Most of the specials on television that deal with the subject have been incomplete at best and sometimes totally inaccurate. I struggled to make a movie that would deal with the subject in all its complexities and yet still remain interesting to people not already familiar with card counting. The mathematics, the history, the politics and the practical realities of blackjack all feature prominently in this movie. I talked to the leading lights in the world of blackjack-professional players, authors, casino personnel, detectives who identify players, lawyers and academics. If you want to know the real story, if you want to learn how to count cards, or if you just want to watch a fun adventure I think you will enjoy "The Hot Shoe."
