Rounders

Pros: POKER!!! and Matt Damon :)
Cons: None!

Yes.....I'm a girl, who LOVED Rounders, and NOT because of Matt Damon!

Let me start with a little background on myself. When I was a little girl my family had intellivision (like atari). My dad LOVES to gamble! He needed an opponent to...

Pros: Cast, Story, Writing
Cons: begs for more detailed plot

Rounders is a stirring drama for the most discerning drama-lover. It peers into the lives of expert poker players in New York. With finely-tuned dialog delivered by a full-house cast (Matt Damon, Edward Norton, John Malkovich, Martin Landau, John...

Pros: fun to watch card tricks, plotted decently, well acted.
Cons: gretchen moll is a terrible actress

Rounders was a film that did decently in the theatre. I must have been one of the 8 people who saw it there. However, it is now all over cable. Don't miss it!

Matt Damon plays a reformed card player. He is not your average joe cardsharp; this...

Pros: Good cast, interesting story.
Cons: Trite dialogue, silly performances at times.

What makes this film interesting is the people who populate it. They're not really characters we haven't seen before, but the acting makes them seem unique and that's really the strength of this film. For those of you who are only familiar with Damon...

Pros: Acting - Directing - Plot
Cons: Makes You Want To Gamble

I bought this movie on sale from Wal-Mart, because I heard it was a good one, and because I know Matt Damon can pull off a number of wonderful roles, and I wanted to see what he could do with this one. I was impressed.

Damon stars as Mike, a...

Pros: Ed Norton is a good actor, Matt Damon is a cutie and although annoying has a somewhat sexy mumble (haha)
Cons: Boring and hard to follow if you don't know alot about poker.

Alright you probably get the picture. To be honest I probably missed a good portion of this movie due to the fact that Matt Damon does a whole heck of a lot of mumbling narration in this film, well that and I don't understand the first thing...

Pros: Learn a little more about poker and how suspenseful it can be.
Cons: None I can think of. Storyline plays out smoothly, not too fast or slow.

Mike McDermmit (Matt Damon) is your average law student, he puts in huge hours and scrapes along on a minimal amount of money available. He hasn't worked a day in his life though. By day he is a hard working student, by night he is a rounder, a person ...

Pros: The Actors, The Story, The Look & The Feel
Cons: That More People have not seen this movie.

I wanted to see this movie, because Don & Mike talk about it from time to time on their nationally syndicated radio show. I figured maybe I would get some of their jokes if I saw the movie, so I rented the DVD.

This is a movie about a...

Pros: Interesting plot, realistic card play, excellent cast
Cons: Some of the poker terms are too technical, Malkovich overdoes his part.

This movie is set in New York, and deals mainly with the world of underground gambling. Mike (Matt Damon) Tells the story from the first person, giving us a peek into how he loses it all, and then builds it back. However, the movie doesn't focus solely...

Pros: Great for people who like cards
Cons: none

Rounders shows all the tricks used in Poker. But at the same time, It relates Poker to the court room. Michael(Matt Damon) is working towards becoming a lawyer. Although, Michael is a card Shark by night. He plays a great game, and doesn't just play...

Pros: Great Acting, Good plot, Great Cast
Cons: Seemingly unresolved conclusion, Stock Matt Damon flick

I wonder if everyone who has seen all of Matt Damon's movies, comes to the same conclusion as me: They all seem the same. I don't know if that is a skill, a curse, or if I'm just crazy. Rounders is no different. You get that same vibe you get when you...

Pros: Outstanding acting by all involved
Cons: Might not appeal to non poker players

If you love poker, John Malkovich, or Ed Norton you will win watching this one. It is the story of Matt Damon a young (rounder) poker player and how he hopes to become a world champion poker player. Poker fans will love this flick. The acting is superb...

Pros: This movie is what makes gambling fun.
Cons: Gambling can ruin your life.

A professional poker player takes it to the top by risking all of hard-earned money on just one hand of poker. Just as Mike (Matt Damon) has his opponent in his hands, he finds his poker days to an end. Losing his $35,000 tuition money for his law...

Pros: Acting, plot
Cons: Heavy on lingo

You don't have to know anything about cards to appreciate this movie. The actors could be plumbers or stockbrokers or claims examiners. What goes on here is a primal turf war, the shift of power, self-destruction, and self-deception, but ultimately,...
