ROUNDERS

Enjoyable film

This film is legendary in poker circles, particularly noted for the part in which two characters are watching a re-run of the famous final table WSOP showdown between Chan and Seed. If you like poker this is a good film as there are lots of references to the game, a fair portion of which is paraphrased from Doyle Brunson's Super System book.The storyline is original - a convict gets out of prison but runs up gambling debts in his friend's name. The friend then has to play a lot of poker against his girlfriend's wishes in order to pay off the debt collectors. I've watched some of the other poker films such as Push, but this certainly is a cut above them.

It was all good

Great poker film about 2 friends whos friendship gets them in to debt with the wrong people, there is a great mix of well known support characters who pop up

Love this film.

I bought it on the strength that it was the special edition version, however there's no special features option on the menu screen. Apart from that it's quite a good film.

I missed this first time round, and came across it due to a mention in a book "The Biggest Bluff." Not being a poker player I was a bit dubious, but thoroughly enjoyed the story, and the poker action. Well worth watching.

Edward Norton on top form. Great film and host of performances. My son and I sit down once a year and rewatch this.
