Rounders

Summary: Lotta action, Lotta action, with this movie!!!
Review: This is a great poker movie, with a solid cast. Realistic and exciting and it is without a doubt the greatest gambling movie ever. Damon, Malkovich and Norton are terrific. "If you can't spot the sucker the first half hour at a table, your the sucker"

Summary: BEST POKER MOVIE EVER
Review: Wow!! If poker is your game this movie cannot afford to be missed. It would be a confusing movie to those who may not understand the rules but that's where the great cast comes in and makes this movie for everybody. Pick this up for a great watch. P.S. Try not to play hold'em after seeing this, it's hard not to.

Summary: Forget about Matt Damon
Review: He's not a great actor. In fact, he pretty much sucks and ruined Rounders for me. John Turturro should be receiving all the praise for this film. He is always excellent and saved a good story from Damon's acting.

Rating:
Summary: A pure classic!
Review: This is a really great movie. Edward Norton does a great job of acting out "worm". Over all this is great film, and it also has a great soundtrack. Get this if you like movies where you pay mad attention to the details.

Review: Great movie, with a good cast. Teddy KGB is a riot and if you're not playing Texas Hold-em after watching this, you must be a vegitable.

Summary: A good movie - and not just for card sharks
Review: Rounders is the type of show that will appeal to more than just card sharks. Despite many of the other reviewers here, I felt that Damon's (his character's) struggle to be the best, to find out if he's good enough to play with the best in the world, was interesting enough if people do not understand cards. Damon's character continously bailing out a friend devoid of common sense will ring true to many people. Sure, there was a fair amount of jargon in the show, but people may find it interesting. Ed Norton was excellent in his role as Worm, and John Malkovich was very good as KGB - even if his accent was less than perfect. I would recommend this film to all - not just card enthusiasts.

Summary: This is a great gambling movie.
Review: I loved the movie. Yes, you need to know about the fine art of gambling to catch all of the goings on, but the narrative like in Magnum P.I., and the conclusion is a thrill.

Summary: Fine effort even though it¿s derivative.
Review: "Rounders" is basically Steve McQueen's "The Cincinnati Kid" modernized (and "The Cincinnati Kid" is basically a good attempt at copying Paul Newman's classic "The Hustler" with poker instead of pool. Luckily, "Rounders" works very well and has some solid performances throughout (although I'm not sure what to make of Damon's girlfriend in the film). What sets "Rounders" apart is the narrative that runs throughout the film, giving the audience an insider's look at the finer points of the 'game'. Normally, when a film attempts to insert a lot of narration, it sadly detracts ("Blade Runner" is a good example). In this case, however, the narration is timely and really adds to the film. Between 1 and 10, "Rounders" gets a marginal 8.
