A young man (Damon) is a reformed gambler who must return to playing big stakes poker to help a friend pay off loan sharks.
I really love it when a film is so great a great cast of actors want to join in on it. Where to begin? Matt Damon was awesome as Mike 'the Card Shark' McDermott. Edward Norton as we all know doesn't make bad movies and he was good as the always down on his luck guy, Worm. John Turturro as Knish, John Malkovich as the Russian, Famke Janssen as Petra, and Gretchen Mol as Jo round up a rather awesome cast. I'm not much of a poker player and find watching it on ESPN to be extremely boring but this movie was anything but that!
Well, at least we know who plays what part.
And which part would that be? Are you barely here for another 2 seconds and already tossing out personal insults?
