classic and best poker movie ever

Ever since it came out, it has to be the most quoted poker movie of all time...

Very entertaining, and interesting story even if you aren't a huge poker fan.

Still love it after watching it over a dozen times...

Lingo, lingo, lingo

Good movie, somewhat interesting (but not captivating) script, and fine performances as usual by Damon, Norton, Malkovich, and Landau.

Landau's character was just a little too "preachy" for my liking. You knew when his "words of wisdom" were coming from a mile away. A comment on his lines and NOT his acting.

Overall the movie had far too much insider dialogue that the average shmuck (shmuck = non-cardshark = me) very likely missed. When the girlfriend (who is very obviously opposed to Damon's former vice) gives pointers of her own to him on more than one occasion in "the language of the cards" I thought...wouldn't it be great if my wife spoke to me in hockey-speak! Yeah right, like THAT'S realistic!

Brilliant drama even if you don't like poker

This movie has been given some of the credit for starting the "poker boom" of the last decade, and with good reason. The all-star cast delivers a powerful performance with great dialouge and directing. This is probably the best poker-related movie of all time. The seedy characters and shady scenarios make for a lot of fun. Highly recommended!

Instant classic

This movie is truly and instant classic, by far my favorite movie of all time. It provides and in depth look into under ground card rooms and the life of a rounder. Besides the great entertainment it provides it also is educational when he goes over his hand in his head etc.

KGB is the best character in the movie.

This movie has some ideas that can be used in trading because their are many similarities between trading and poker such as the emotional aspect and the thrill of the gamble.

Life is on a wire, the rest is just waiting

Not much else to add to the accolades - this being one of my all time favorite films. Razor-sharp dialogues, uniformly great performances by the cast, and understated direction from John Dahl that works perfectly for the film. It's one of those movies that you end up watching again and again just for the sheer pleasure of it if you understand and perhaps even embrace its ethos.

amazing flick..

if u like booze, gambling, fighting and a story of friendship this is a great movie. matt damon is a card shark who tries to go straight and go to law school after he got busted in a big card game. when is buddy gets out of prison he tells damon that he owes a large amount of money and he needs his help rounding up tables like the old days playing poker. next thing u know damon is back into the scene and he is hustling. Ken Norton plays the ultimate weasel.....lovable but a piece of crap
