High Roller:the Stu Ungar story

[captain2man]

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".
