A bit over rated this film. It was ok but nothing special. Everyone did well apart from Malkovich who stank to high heaven, he should wipe it off his CV!
Easy does it Cowboy.
I watched this movie probably 6-7 times in high school, as I was addicted to Poker. My buddies wanted to watch this...so I got to see it again.
It was actually a little better than I remember it. Good movie.
This was very disappointing. Matt Damon was flat, and though Ed Norton was good, he couldn't save it. Complete waste of talent: John Turturro and John Malkovich also fell victim to this awful script. The main question is this: does the main character have a gambling addiction, or...( read more)
I was slightly disappointed at this film, given that it was a good cast, particularly as Ed Norton was part of that cast.

La mejor peli de poker de todos los tiempos, trata al juego con respeto tal que asombra. Para todo, si no encuentras al tonto de la mesa en la primera media hora, entonces el tonto eres tu.
The most interesting character is NOT Matt Damon. Ed Norton, John Turturro, and John Malkovich are amazing.
I'd much rather see Damon and Norton work side by side than Affleck and Damon. This film right here solidifies that theory. Two different players, one reckless, one careful, both straightforward and fearless with the confidence to take on any poker adversary. This movie reminded ...( read more)
In fighting to show the psychological complexities in Mike that the script ignores, Damon plays it like a rounder instead of a grinder. This kid still has surprises up his sleeve. full review
Rounders cheerfully buys into compulsive gambling! full review
According to director John Dahl's Rounders, professional poker players are very, very interesting people -- for about five minutes. full review
A promising cast can't rescue a script without surprises!
