Rounders

Wow! This is one of my favorite movies. Rounders stars Edward Norton and Matt Dammon.
This movie draws you in from the beginning with a high stakes poker game. You fined yourself rooting for Matt Dammon's character Mike McDermott. Across the table from From Mike is Roman, a dark straight faced almost anger Russian played by Salva Schoot. I'm not a card gambler but this movie and the characters are so complex and rich I can't help but watch. The acting is superb and I get lost in the story of the world of underground gambling. Edward Norton plays Lester "worm" Murphy a con artist that blurs the lines of honor among thieves and will cheat his own mother to make a score. Great suspends and a must see.
