The scene where he calls out every card in Pat Morita's gin-rummy hand after only 4 discards, from a card playing perspective, is probably the most captiviating moment in the film.

This was the only part of the movie worth seeing in my opinion. It's a shame because it could have been really good but it was just done all wrong. I think it needed more creative writing or a more original plot development. The music montages where Stu wins the WSOP and is recovering from drugs are terrible, especially for such important areas of his life. The movie felt like a generic made for TV movie about a"gifted person who got messed by drugs". I actually fast-forwarded through many parts of the film.
