Reviews for The Cincinnati Kid
The movie has lots of nice performances amid some romantic digressions from the poker table.
A highly watchable, if somewhat superficial drama that bluffed its way to critical respectability on release.
Falta-lhe a complexidade moral e psicológica de Desafio à Corrupção, mas, ainda assim, é um filme com personagens suficientemente interessantes para prender nossa atenção.
it's the film's stellar cast, along with a gritty narrative and stylized direction, that makes The Cincinnati Kid the best poker movie ever.
seemingly prosaic spectacle of poker game as the contest of epic proportions
McQueen's first teaming with director Jewison is not as fun to watch as the later Thomas Crown Affair, but the actor gives a cool, understated perfromance and positing him against old-timers like Edward G. Robinson and Karl Malden proves to be good idea
One of Norman Jewison’s core themes of his career is the singular figure and how his or her’s goals, desires, and actions affect the people around them.
The pool sharks in The Hustler have it all over the card sharks in The Cincinnati Kid, in spades.
Adapted from Richard Jessup's realistically-written novel, it emerges a tenseful examination of the gambling fraternity.
