Academy Award winner Matt Damon and Edward Norton lead a critically acclaimed cast in this story of passion, risk and the extreme price of friendship! Dealt a painful lesson when he blows his hard-eared savings in a high-stakes, underground card club, master poker player Mike (Damon) thinks he's played his final hand when he gives up gambling for law school and a fresh start with his beautiful girlfriend. But then his best buddy gets out of prison and is over his head with a ruthless Russian card shark. From there, Mike's strong sense of loyalty and the irrisistable lure of the game draw his back to the tables in a do-or-die bid to rescue his friend!
 


Editor's Note

Mike McDermott (Matt Damon) is a law student who has given up his true talent (and love), gambling, when he loses all of his money to Teddy KGB (John Malkovich in a hilarious role). Months later, when his friend Worm (Edward Norton) gets out of jail and is on a strict deadline to repay a $15,000 debt to Teddy, he must decide whether or not to help his friend, threatening his student status and relationship with his girlfriend (Gretchen Mol). Tightly written, beautifully photographed by the brilliant Jean-Yves Escoffier, and well-played all across the board (particularly by Norton), this is a work of slick, enjoyable entertainment.

5 of 5 Great!!!! Tuesday, August 10, 2004
A Viewer from NY  

This is a great movie wih excellent acting. If you play cards you have not dealt with a game like the ones played in this movie. I was waiting for every minute to see how he played his cards on the table and in life. 10 out of 10.

Matt Damon and Edward Norton are the new duo to deal with. If you play cards you have not dealt with a game like the ones played in this movie. I was waiting for every minute to see how he played his cards on the table and in life. 10 out of 10.
