Rounders (DVD, 1999)

This movie spawned the poker game Texas Hold'em on ESPN. It introduces the game nicely to the audience in the movie. There is nothing like having 3 stakes of high society meaning having 30 thousand dollars on hand in cold hard cash.

Very Good Movie. For All Poker Lovers. Great Story Line And Performances By Matt Damon, John Malkovich And Edward Norton. And I Know There Are Alot Of People That Think Poker Is Boring, But This Movie Is Very Entertaining And Funny.I Highly Recommend This Movie! A+ All The Way!! :-)

This movie will be the Poker standard for novice and veteran poker players alike. Not only does the movie maintain a gripping story line but manages to keep true to the game of Poker(Texas Hold'em) as well. Pitting a young Matt Damon against a veteran actor like John Malkovich in a no limit Texas Holdem showdown was a stroke of shear brilliance. This movie will either make you love the game of poker or make you never want to play the game again, but ultimately you will enjoy the show. An all star cast "rounds" out this compelling drama. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!

Simply an amazing film and certainly among the most underrated films out there.. The movie is set in New York City, Both in the underworld of illegal card games as well as above ground in the mix of everday life and the Havoc you wreak when you choose to intermingle the two... The movie to me follows more of a life strategy moreso than that of a card game... The movie follows the lives of several characters including Damon as his usual quiet unassuming self but this time he has quite a knack for cards, Norton plays the part of a loser to perfection and delivers an incredible performance of a con man recently released from the "joint" at which he honed his "Card skills" to a fine point.. John Malkovich also delivers a fine performance of a russian outfit guy who apparently you don't want to get on his bad side as he is potentially linked to the russian KGB... The interesting mix of characters somehow come together beautifully and what is displayed on the screen is nothing short of amazing... How they can take a movie about these totally different people and a card game and meld them together the way they do and create a masterpiece of film making that will have you holding your breath until the final minute ofthe movie.... You don't need to be a card buff to enjoy this flic but you definitely need to rent it....

Great movie featuring Matt Damon, Edward Norton, John Malkovich, Famke Jannsen, John Turturro, and Martin Landau

Damon is a law student and reformed card player with a good life. A former best friend and gambler Norton, is released from prison. They team up for a quick card scam and Norton confesses to big debts. Damon agrees to help a friend and in a way, help himself see that gambling is his true love. Great movie and great character development.

If you like poker, this was a good movie, but not so much about the game. It's about what the game will do to you! Has a few cameo roles, teaches you a few tricks of the game, and makes you glad you are not in Matt Damon's characters shoes. Was a movie worth watching!

Just an overall good movie with a lot of twists. Its exciting and just when you think you got it figured out well you don't.

Realistic and enjoyable. This movies shows the ups and downs, the rewards and pitfalls to gambling. The ending is great.

Great movie. Excellent seller would work with them again. I had quick and easy delivery............
