Although the ending is a bit too "Hollywood", Rounders succeeds in engrossing us in the tension of high-stakes poker, and having a good performance from Damon. Norton, on the other hand, plays the same annoying character as per usual, and theAlthough the ending is a bit too "Hollywood", Rounders succeeds in engrossing us in the tension of high-stakes poker, and having a good performance from Damon. Norton, on the other hand, plays the same annoying character as per usual, and the only thing more fake than their chemistry is John Malkovich's Russian accent.… Expand

Blessed with good acting, the cliche of the storyline and the constant jargon are the main pitfalls of the film and the reasons it falters in the end. However, I still liked this one.

Despite stumbling out of the gate with a rather unconvincing opening, John Dahl's "Rounders" eventually swells to a wholly satisfying experience, thanks in no small part to the snappy, sophisticated stylings within David Levien and BrianDespite stumbling out of the gate with a rather unconvincing opening, John Dahl's "Rounders" eventually swells to a wholly satisfying experience, thanks in no small part to the snappy, sophisticated stylings within David Levien and Brian Koppelman's screenplay. The efforts aren't just on display in the memorable dialogue and narrativity, but the world-building and thematic content also comprise a good portion of this film's enjoyment. Oddly enough, my favorite scenes from the film weren't even the ones involving card playing. Matt Damon and Edward Norton's characters catching up on lost time, Matt Damon and Martin Landau's characters talking about life, and Matt Damon and John Turturro's characters talking about ambition — as much as I love seeing John Malkovich chewing the scenery (and Oreos), it's these scenes that really will stick with me.
