  • One of the best card films of all time

    I guess the test is this: I've seen Rounders four or five times; I saw
    it in the cinema when it was first released and thought it brilliant
    then. If anything now it's even better.Why? Because it's a film about the game, not a sponsor, and it has
    first class performances and first class directing. It wasn't high
    rollled by an internet site looking to cash in on the poker craze; it's
    just a grimy, grim, and effective film about poker and poker players
    with a little back story but mainly strong performances especially from
    Norton who really is Worm.The story of the reformed gambler who finds himself sucked back in to
    pay off debts that aren't his is very well handled and one of its great
    points is that it's all done without melodrama.Just a great film about gambling, New York, and the guys who play
    Poker. For my money as good as the Cincinnati Kid and certainly no
    other card film in the last 10 years has come close.Class and classic

  • Good Acting Rescues an Otherwise Niche-Market Drama

    "Rounders" is, actually, almost entirely enjoyable. The actors give you
    most of the enjoyment; a very good music score adds quite a lot. But,
    unfortunately, the screenplay hardly helps.No-Limit Texas Hold 'Em is supposed to be the real star here, I
    guess… But most of us will just dismiss this as poker hyperbole. "The
    Cadillac of Poker" is a title I do not respect; I don't even like
    Cadillacs. The game is the all-surrounding ocean in which the
    actor-players swim, but it is just… a… game… after all, folks.
    Yeah, the cameo appearances of real-life Poker All-Stars (so-called)
    are supposed to awe us. Sorry; I'm not at all awed. Their whole life
    is, I think, mere sleaze.But there is an impressive list of top supporting actors: Gretchen Mol,
    Martin Landau, John Malkovich, Edward Norton, John Turturro… All
    provide a fine foundation for Matt Damon's great job in the leading
    role. These good folks help to rescue the viewing experience.I finally figured out why I always like watching such films as
    "Rounders, "The Hustler," and "The Color of Money". Objectively, all
    movies of this kind just over-glorify games to the point where they
    take on life-threatening proportions. I know better than to gamble, but
    these films deliver vicarious thrills without the dangers.I bought this DVD at a $5 cut-out bin. Just the right price. Enjoyable,
    even with repetition. 7 out of 10.

  • Best playing cards movie I have ever seen!

    The Plot: Academy Award Matt Damon (The Bourne Movies) and Edward
    Norton (Incredible Hulk) star in this story of passion, risk and the
    extreme price of friendship! After losing a high-stakes card game, Mike
    (Damon) gives up gambling for law school and a fresh start with his
    girlfriend (Gretchen Mol – Cradle Will Rock). but then his best buddy
    (Norton) gets out of prison and in over his head with a ruthless card
    shark (John Malkovich – Being John Malkovich). From there, Mike's
    strong sense of loyalty – and the lure of the game – draws him back to
    the tables in a game he cannot afford to lose! Also starring John
    Turturro (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) and Oscar winner Martin landau
    (Ed Wood) My Spiel: Easily one of the best Card playing movies these
    eyes have ever scene. This it a terrific movie and stars 2 powerful
    actors (Damon & Norton). I have quoted from this movie with my brother
    a lot. Both of us are big fans of this movie. Some of the best parts
    are John Malkovich's acting and how he talks it's simply amazing. This
    is truly the ups and downs of no limit Texas hold 'em brought to the
    big screen. The acting is nothing but perfect and I have constantly
    watched this and every time it's just as good as the first. If you
    thought "21 (2008)" was the best movie about playing cards, you are
    sadly mistaken. A must watch for any one! Rounders in the game of
    life…..Play the cards you're dealt.Rounders (1998) Review: 9/10

  • Undeniably cool

    "Rounders" seems to have become somewhat of a cult classic since its
    release a decade ago. Depending on who you ask, it either played a part
    in sparking the recent vogue for poker or it benefited directly from
    it.In the film, a ruined poker player (Matt Damon) gets drawn back into
    the game when his ne'er-do-well buddy (Edward Norton) runs into trouble
    with a loan shark. With this premise, the film then takes us into the
    world of high stakes poker and life as a rounder.The cast is a big part of why this film is worth watching. Damon &
    Norton were still fresh faces in 1998 but time has shown that you could
    not ask for a better pairing. Both actors are on the top of their game
    and their performances go a long way in selling the experience. The
    supporting cast isn't bad, either. You've got Martin Landau, John
    Malkovich (complete with ridiculous 'Russian' accent), John Turturro
    and others providing quality support.The film's look is pretty impressive, too. John Dahl's direction is
    bold and the cinematography is continually appealing as we move from
    underground dives to Atlantic City and everywhere in between. The
    soundtrack is pretty good too, with some well-chosen music that fits
    the picture nicely.All of this makes for a film that's worthy of its cult status. Is it
    destined to become a classic on the scale of "The Hustler"? Certainly
    not, but it's a nifty little spin on similar subject matter.

  • Great movie

    This movie seems to be quite overlooked. While I am not a fan of poker,
    blackjack or gambling in general, this movie actually made it seem
    great. Even though the story might have seemed predictable at certain
    moments, the acting, the plot, scenarios and dialogue compensated for
    any error.Matt Damon plays Mike, a law student and gambling ace. While trying to
    stay away from the action and the dangerous underground poker sites,
    the arrival Worm (Ed Norton), Mike old school buddy, thrust him back
    into the gambling world. Worm is sleazy, unreliable and has a penchant
    for trouble. John Malkovich, Famke Jannsen, John Turturro (who never
    seems to get starring roles), Martin Landau and Gretchen Mol all
    provide strong performances. Hollywood generally never gets it right
    when it tries to portray certain subcultures. The fact that several
    former World poker champions have endorsed this movie, speaks to its
    authenticity.
