Rounders DVD Description
A law school student (Matt Damon) loses his tuition money and everything
else he has saved in a high stakes poker game. Learning his lesson (he
thinks), he vows to his girl friend (Mol Gretchen) to give up playing
forever. That lasts until his best friend (Edward Norton), a notorious
card shark, is released from prison and drags him back into the circuit
to pay debts he has incurred to a Russian mobster (John Malkovich). John
Turturro also appears as a career poker player and Martin Landau plays
a law professor who understands his student's need to be something other
than what is dictated to him.
Rounders DVD Review
Rounders is a brilliant movie about a poker player(Matt
Damon) and his inner struggle with the game of poker. He loses his
entire fortune to a Russian mafia and promises his girlfriend that
he would stop playing poker for good. Unfortunely for him, his friend,
"The Worm" (Edward Norton), just got out of prison, and
soon they're both hustling poker games all over New York. The duo
gets caught cheating, debts are rising, tension starts mounting,
and the drama begins.
"If you don't know who the sucker is within the first 30
minutes, then the sucker is you." This infamous quote has
been used over and over after the movie came out. Rounders was the
first big screen movie to feature Texas Hold Em. There is even a
guest appearance by Johnny Chan (winner of back to back WSOP). This
is one movie that poker fans will watch over and over. The way the
story is told will appeal to non poker players as well. Rounders
is one movie that all poker players should own.
ProPokerGuide.com rates this DVD a perfect score of 5 out of
5.
