They both have very distinct personalities and are as different as they are similar. The supporting cast that is found in the poker world is just as interesting. All in all this entire group of actors combine to form one of the most effective groups of talent on screen. They make you see the seedy side of life in the poker facilities that are the underground. Not only does Rounders take you to the underground, it also takes you to the mainstream casino and shows you how skilled poker players can make amateurs look like fools at any given time.
Rounders is a great film.
A film that reminds me of the intrigue surrounding House of Games and The Grifters . This is an intense movie that will have you intensely observing the entire world that is poker. It's interesting people and places will affect you like never before. Rounders is a film that looks tame on the surface but is quite adult in its very nature. First off there is obviously an adult overtone in the fact that the film is about an adult activity, gambling.
