Rounders, in my opinion, is the best poker film ever made and i can't believe that it is twenty years since it's release. Even if you do not like poker, it is still a must watch film in my humble opinion

What a reminder that was An old movie of course where you can see some of the actors on their youth. Not that we were old then. But now... It was a good movie, either you like the theme of it or not.
read this news and there was a desire to see this movie again ... already at 10 probably times .... the movie is certainly a classic film about the game of poker .... young Matt is also happy with his acting ..... and of course the inimitable Malkovich ... cool

It's a movie that i remember with pleasure. The main actor in the film had gambling problems and debts, then borrow money from his teacher and ultimately beating him at poker on John Malkovich, who plays the role of a russian. Beautiful movie with a very good script.

Best poker film - certainly. Every other poker movie by far is having a plethora of ridiculous hands at the end so this one is at least a bit realistic...

Wow, 20 years have passed? I was a student at the university pursuing my master's and doctoral degrees. Time just seems to fly. It's just unbelievable. I actually don't remember the first time I watched "Rounder" from beginning to end, but I am pretty sure I didn't watch the movie when it was released in 1998.

to be honest I do not remember having seen it, but with this news I will look for it right now to be able to see it and catalog it, hopefully what people say to buy popcorn and enjoy a weekend of movies

You have to watch more movies about poker, if you like but you will not learn strategy there. Rounders, Molly's Game 2017, Runner Runner 2013, Maverick 1994 , Casino Royale 2006 etc... The movies are good if you like movies in general. Enjoy with these good movies.

Still can't believe it's been 20 years already. Where does the time go ? Great youthful time for me during the era and loved such a gritty Poker movie perfect that it was made in the 90's. fit right in.

It just an entertaining movie with a great cast - the fact that it is about poker is just a cherry on top...
