ROUNDERS: The Poker Movie
rating: 5
Rounders is a movie that is guilty of coming out a couple years too early. It was released in 1998...and of course a few years later Poker was shown on every channel there is most days of the week. I guess it's all in the timing!
Still, the movie is an excellent cross of mob movie and gambling lesson. Matt Damon plays the greatest friend in the world to Edward Norton...until it gets him into the biggest debt with the worst person. Then it's time to let the cards and the poker-faces do the settling. Rounders gets better and better each time I watch it and if you're a fan of Poker (particularly Texas Hold 'Em) then you need to watch this movie.
For DVD afficianados, there's plenty of extras. Chief among them two decent commentary tracks. One is movie insightful with the director and Edward Norton. The second commentary has Johnny Chan and 3 of the top Poker players in the world...it's a fun listen.
I highly recommend you see Rounders. At the least it'll give you a two-hour break from the tables.

Fantastic movie. Great acting from principals and supporting cast
rating: 5
I still don't understand how this game is played, but I enjoyed the great acting from Matt Damon and Edward Norton. Exceptional support from John Tuturro, Famke Janssen (gorgeous), Gretchen Mol (beautiful) and especially John Malkovich as Teddy KGB: "He beet me, street up. peyee thet main his myknee." Fantastic script and direction, in terms of pacing, tension and drama. One of my all-time favorite movies of Matt Damon and Edward Norton.
