Good simple film about poker. It's great fun to watch McQueen and Edward G. play off each other. Nothing groundbreaking, but very entertaing with a great ending.

Steve McQueen was undeniably the coolest actor of his time. I've recently become an admirer of his work and when this film came up on tv I had to take a look. While the basic premise (a high-stakes poker game) has been rolled out on more than one occasion by film-makers, the ending this time around left me feeling a little disappointed. Not that it was bad writing, just not what I was expecting. That's a good thing! Sometimes I wanted to give McQueen's character, The Kid, a good slap (thanks mainly to Ann-Margret's stunning temptress), but I still found myself rooting for him big-time as he refused to take a proposed 'assist' from the dealer and how he was going to do things his way or not at all. Although, to me, not one of McQueen's finest, it's still worth seeing. Very inspirational and an ideal "Sunday afternoon" movie.

MCT:June 14, 2008Good acting puts this over, incredible cast coupled with interesting story. Ann-Margret is positively bursting with kittenish sexuality.

A very pleasant surprise that caught me with zero expectations. Very enjoyable and well done. McQueen is fine by the way...

Excellent poker film with a stellar cast (including Ann-Margaret, who is totally smoking!). Great ending!

Crushing Ending but good effective long card scene that most likely influenced movies like Rounders or Casino Royale.

In 1930s New Orleans, the Cincinnati Kid, a young stud poker player who travels from one big game to the next, stopping along the way up with various girls, is pitted against the legendary champion card-sharp Lancey Howard in a high-stakes poker game.

Not quite The Hustler of the poker sect but still good even if it is a little soft in the middle..you tried too hard; you just ain't ready for me yet
-
MCT:November 30, 2007I found this film very inspirational. The story is really smart set and Steve McQueen is just brilliant. I believe this film really gave him the "King of Cool" title. Great throughout!

"You'll always be second best kid as long as I'm around." McQueen may be the very epitome of on screen cool but Edward G Robinson may still have his number round the ol' card table.

Kind of mimic's Paul Newman's The Hustler, though this one falls short of the latter in terms of acting talent and story.

A great film filled with Love,Lust,Desire, and Poker. Steve McQueen was brilliant and Norman Jewison's direction was fantastic. A great exploration of one man and his dreams.

Way too many uninteresting and poorly written subplots among many flaws, but it's hard to beat Steve McQueen vs. Edward G. Robinson, and the poker scenes are great fun, if not an entirely accurate depiction of the game. Generally well directed by Norman Jewison, although nowhere near the level of his best films.

A classic gangster movies, with another fine performance from Edward G. Robinson, Steve McQueen in no holds barred 5 card stud poker match.

You like poker? What a battle between McQueen and Robinson. Anecdote: Robinson trouvait insupportable que McQueen ne le regarde pas dans les yeux pendant les répliques. Ce qui fait tout l'attrait du personnage dans le film!

I hate card game and Steve McQueen movies but this one was great. It doesn't have the typical bullshit Hollywood ending and it's got a great cast.

MCT:September 1, 2006Steve McQueen vs. Ed G. Robinson at no holds barred 5 card stud poker match. They don't play with chips, they play with hard earned cash.

Jewison displays a rich and entertaining poker world where the fortune grows as big as some players ego. McQueen is as cool as ever and the supporting cast is just as rich. Great use of New Orleans' backdrop.
