Just got this through NetFlix & watched it. I enjoyed the movie quite a lot...I don't know if it's technically a good movie (although I think it's safe to say Michael Imperioli is a darn fine actor)....I don't know if I would have enjoyed the movie had I not been a poker player or been interested in Stuey...but - since I am - I did enjoy it.
What a completely insane life...I can't even imagine. ****SPOILER**** 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. The movie really made me realize that there are some people who just operate on levels that I'll never experience. On the other hand - it also made me thankful that I pretty much have my head straightened on tight - and I'm not THAT addicted to "the action". |

My thoughts are the exact opposite. I hated everything about this movie from poker to Michael Imperioli. :/

captain,
I thought this was in the running for worst movie I've ever seen. I can't think of a single thing about it that didn't suck. |

I can understand why someone would hate this film...but feel free to expand on that opinion.
I guess I liked the movie because it's on a topic that I'm very, very interested in....and - I DON'T think the movie glorifies the lifestyle he lived at all...which I could see being a potential criticism.

I guess I won't apply for that job as movie critic then....

Michael I. can do no wrong in my eyes.
The sound and editing sucked--and I've never said that about any movie, ever. On the whole, I recommend it (barely). |
