    Great poker movie. Edward Norton is such a great actor. I loved how that guy reacted when he lost. His accent was so funny, and he was screaming he trick me, he trick me. Awesome movie.

    The movie that started the poker craze.
    One of my favorite movies in all the world. You'll like it if you've never played poker, and be captivated every second if you have.

    This may sound somewhat odd, but I love watching movies that involve long-term gambling, like "Rounders" or Paul Newman's "The Hustler". You get all the emotional ups and downs without actually losing any money. It's great.

    Yeah, I'm strange. I know.

    Matt Damon, John Malkovich, and Edward Norton play their parts wonderfully in this tale of friendship and fitting into the norm and playing it safe vs. doing what makes you happy. No Limit Texas Hold Em Poker scenes are great. I find myself watching it every time it is on even though I own it.

    Somewhat interesting. Just not my cup of tea. But I'd wanted to see it for a long time, so I watched it.

    You just have to watch this if you're somewhat into playing poker. Matt Damon and Edward Norton make a great pair in this movie and it's one you can watch countless times without getting bored.

    It's got a great cast and they all give worthy performances to some memorable characters. However, aside from a handful of scenes this movie really didn't do much for me.

    Although being the best poker movie isnt exactly an achievement in its own right, Rounders does a great job of conveying the exhilaration of the game. Norton is superb as ever.

    A film very true to the poker world, but Ed Norton's (one of my favorite actors) character is over the top and just down right stupid, but a decent film.

    This isn't a movie where story matters that much: It's a movie of character and milieu, both of which it evokes brilliantly.
    Rounders is such a smart, tough little film that its strengths override its fairly serious weaknesses.

    Could you imagine how much money this movie would've made had it come out in 2006 or so.

    Awesome film. Malkovich's Russian accent was pretty sad, but this movie was killer.

    Why can't Matt Damon pick movies like this anymore? That's right, because he's too big now. We need old skool Damon back! Edward Norton...amazing as always. The girl wasn't that good of an actress. John Malkovich put on a decent performance. John Turturro and Martin Landau were there...ba-bonus! At least now I sorta know how to play poker.

    All kinds of shady characters in this along with some hearts of gold. As far as the movie itself goes...it's pretty predictable, but it's still very enjoyable.

    I am really non-committal on this one. It's got lots of intense acting and you know the script is supposed to be an attempt to win an award because the dialogue has more swearing then actual English. However, the tension of the story never really rises above mediocre and while poker itself can be fascinating to watch that magic is never really captured on screen.
    It's alright.

    I thought this was pretty decent. It does have two of my favourite actors so of course that made it more appealing to me, in fact that was the reason I picked this up in the first place. It can be a little slow I guess, and I can understand it could be boring for people who absolutely hate movies about poker. So that's the first thing - If you hate movies based around playing cards then do yourself a favour and don't waste your time. For me it was fine, I don't mind that at all.

    Matt Damon looks really young in this flick, but he is himself and kind of relaxed playing this kind of character. Edward Norton was again amazing. I'm telling you this guy can ace any role, without him my rating would be a lot lower. Oh and John Malkovich was just brilliant, not the acting as such but more just his personality fitting well to the character.

    A nice drama about poker that really should be seen by more people. It's oldish but worth watching if you don't mind these types of movies.

    I saw it, but I really don't remember it that much. I guess it was not memorable, but it was not that bad either.
