Otimer K @SouthernGothic 3 days ago Great movie. Poker becomes a metaphor for risk-taking and compulsive behavior. An ending that appears one way becomes something else after repeated watching and consideration. An amazing cast with Ed Norton and John Turturro. As well as a stand-up comedian, the son of Zero Mostel, and lovely Gretchen Mol. So many names and faces. The writing for this one is masterful. Imagine writing so many different characters.

Great performances and great direction by John Dahl, which changed the genre of poker movies. See more Robert P @Superbad Sep 7, 2026 Rounders = a *3.5* star movie!

The part when mike asked for money petrovsky gave it to him , rlly almost made me cry , I liked that part , the mitzvah part, but otherwise I wished there was more poker explaining See more J H @UpstateNYThriller Aug 24, 2026 7/10 Drama, Poker Decent Matt Damon movie about being a nighttime poker player. Not as great as some other Casino movies like bond etc but a decent movie. See more Ashequl I @Tofa13 Aug 19, 2026 John Dahl’s Rounders (1998) stands as a classic crime drama that authentically captures the high-stakes world of underground poker. Matt Damon gives a great, grounded performance as Mike McDermott, a talented law student trying to walk a straight path after losing his bankroll. The narrative thrives on the chaotic dynamic between Mike and his reckless childhood friend Worm, played brilliantly by Edward Norton, whose bad choices destroy Mike’s quiet life and romantic relationship. Supported by a warm turn from Martin Landau and an iconic, memorable villain performance by John Malkovich, the film succeeds through sharp dialogue and authentic poker strategy. While some subplots feel a bit underdeveloped, it remains an absolute must-watch for drama and poker fans alike. See more Read all reviews
