Plot: As a young girl, Alicia "Ace" Anderson (Swain) had been taught the fine art and the mathematical probabilities of Texas Hold-em poker by the father she adored. But that world came to an end when her father was taken from her in a fatal auto accident. Years later, as she enters medical school, she will need to call upon the skills her father taught her as she struggles with the rigorous medical training, mounting financial pressures and the seamier side of medicine. Her friends and fellow students combine their unique talents and skills to produce a team who may well be the ultimate poker machine. But as the stakes in both the casinos and the operating room continue to rise, Ace comes to understand what her father taught her: in order to really live, you need to go all in.

Quotes:
The Chief: But who's fool enough to play with a Grenade?::Brenten, The Chief: [simultaneously] I'll bet it was Leona Ozaki!
Leona Ozeki: But if there's a crime going on, we gotta go and help.::Brenten: Now pin your ears back and listen to me. We get a crime of some kind every 36 seconds within the precincts of the city we patrol. My main job as tank police commander is to make sure it doesn't rise to 1 in every 35 seconds. Get it?
Mayor: A surgeon operates with a scalpel which he takes good care to sterilize to prevent unnecessary infections. If he uses a TANK, the patient tends to DIE.
Red Commando: Give me the painting. You're a small time crook. You should'nt be playing in the big league coz you'll end up getting hurt.::Buaku: I ain't a small timer, Just a man-made being cursed with a man-made brain!::Red Commando: You've got guts as well and I like that, only its strength that counts in the end.
Buaku: Green depths contained me. No sun, no moon, no Earth, no sky, no darkness, no light, no word. Then came the last day, which was the first day of my existence. The first day...
Red Commando: Listen apeface, the Tank Police aint gettin in my hair! That picture goes with me.::Lt. Britain: [to Red Leader] The ape that knows he is one has attained true wisdom, thus sayeth the Lord.::Chaplain: Right on!::Lt. Britain: [to Red Leader] I'll CASTRATE YOU, ASSHOLE!
Brenten: Booohooo... curses... I can't stand it... I've never been so insulted in my whole friggin life. Waaaaah! I'll kill him. I'll cut out his stinkin guts and piss on em
Mohican: Great to be a young pair of lovers eh Specs? I went out for a meal with a 5 inch cockroach last week but I would'nt pretend it was that much fun!::Specs: And when I eat in the Lab surrounded by Urine samples, it makes me want to throw up.
The Chief: I resent that! It was you politicians who gave us surgeons those tanks in the first place. Besides, nowadays, tanks are about as effective as toothpicks.::Mayor: Toothpicks? Well if tanks are no better than toothpicks, what would you propose to help the police in fighting crime?::The Chief: I'm glad you asked me that. I would'nt mind replacing my guns with tactical nuclear weapons.::Mayor: Nuclear weapons?::Mayor: Nuclear weapons could have stopped wars as the had done, they should be able to stop criminals. Though I'm no pessimist, I don't think we can ever get rid of crime completely.::Mayor: Chief, you cannot be serious?::Mayor: Deadly serious. It was you politicians who gave us the tanks and told us to fight the bad guys. We can argue over whether the law that set us up, was a good one or not, but the laws the law and no we're here. We're right at the sharp end in the fight against crime and if you want law and order, I've only got one thing to say : If you want us to zap em, GIVE US MORE TANKS! DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? THIS IS WAAR AND THE TANK POLICE AND IN FRONTLINE!
Al: I wish there was something we could have done to save here?::Chaplain: Take not this burden upon thyself.::Al: If it was the Lieutenant they had taken as a hostage, I guess I could live with that...::Lt. Britain: Gee thanks...::Al: ...but not Leona!::Lt. Britain: Listen kid, I've been real patient but now you better go.::Chief Of Police: Back off. I'll tell you if they had taken YOU as a hostage, I would'nt lose much sleep.::Lt. Britain: What? You really mean that, chief? Right then, I quit!::Lt. Britain: [to cheering crowd] Okay maybe I'll git but I'm gonna take you bastards with me!
