Movie Rounders

[Hard Ball Get]

I've seen a fair bit of love for this movie in a few other threads but when I went looking for a thread dedicated to it I couldn't find one.

Sensational movie. One of my favourites and easily the best poker film I've seen.

Some great quotes and some great scenes throughout. I love the opening sequence especially, along with the final poker games.

For those that have never heard of it here is the trailer

I also rate this movie a 9/10.

I've seen it quite a few times, it is absolutely sensational.

If you are interested in poker and you haven't seen this movie, hire it/download it; just make sure you see it.

Even if you're interested in Poker.

7/10 movie wise.

9/10 for a poker movie. Doubt you'll find a poker fan who loathes it.

I agree it is a terrific movie but I think the final card game betweem Malkovich & Damon is a bit of a let down. This makes the movie drop down to a 7/10. But the journey up to that point is quality drama. Some great character parts. Apparently when it was made they screen tested it with some NY Poker players and they were pretty impressed. It captures that world very well.

This is about right, although drop it to 6/10 movie wise due to John Malkovich's russian accent being one of the worst of all time.

I reckon he is pretty good in it. Love his "he beat me, pay that man his money" line.

Havent seen this since the movies in like 1998 or whenever it was, but I'll always fondly recall J Malkovich's hamfisted Russian accent

Whoa damn, I just listened to a podcast (Bill Simmons) with Matt Damon who comments he was shocked when Malkovich first did his accent not sure if he was serious
I couldn’t even remember the accent and here I am commenting on it, albeit 10 years ago about a 20 year old movie
Go me
