Re: High Roller:the Stu Ungar story

the gin-rummy scene with Pat Morita was entertaining....and so was the 7-2o vs. KK scene. |

Re: High Roller:the Stu Ungar story
I thought it was entertaining, even if the movie as a whole was poorly made. I'm assuming it was straight to video.

Re: High Roller:the Stu Ungar story
I thought the movie was okay. A lot of that opinion is probably based on the fact the movie seemed ultra budget.

Re: High Roller:the Stu Ungar story
I thought it was terrible as well. Was thoroughly dissapointed in it. I can't remember specifics, but I made a post at another website about I think - yeah, here's what I said:
"I thought it was half-decent at best... Felt more like a remake of Rounders/Goodfellas/Sopranos than anything else. I don't know, it wasn't very informative...I think it should have been placed in the hands of a better director, like Scorcese, who is the master of bio movies." Someone asked me if it was worth watching, "I guess, if you have nothing better to do. honestly, I felt it told me nothing about Stu Ungar." But yeah, didn't think Imperioli was good for this. And the editing/directing was terrible. I havn't seen it in a while though, so I can't add anything else. |

Or a Night at the Roxbury. [ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] captain, I thought this was in the running for worst movie I've ever seen. [/ QUOTE ] That sounds like the opinion of someone who hasn't seen Shade. [/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] A Night at the Roxbury can't be considered the worst movie of all time, since it had no potential. It starts so low and is about such a stupid concept that no matter how bad it is/could be, it wouldn't be the worst movie of all time. That's why I consider "The Day After Tomorrow" the worst movie of all time. It sucks on every possible level, but the people that made the movie clearly tried to make a good/serious movie. I never thought anything would beat Final Destination as my all time worst movie, but The Day After Tomorrow smoked it! Sorry for the thread-derailing. I liked the movie, but it definitely could have been better. I find the personality/talent of Stu Ungar so interesting that it probably compensated for the bad parts of the movie. |

Re: High Roller:the Stu Ungar story
-jj
Game Over Stu really was bad though. bad characters, acting, script, cinematography. everything seemed amateurish. i strongly suspect the people defending the movie are just suckers for poker/gambling stories and may also have a stu ungar fetish. if thats really your thing, i can see being able to look past all that, but the average viewer would probably rather watch some vincent price b-movie than the Stu Ungar story. |
