Synopsis:
A card-playing law student blows his roll, and decides to give up the game. That is until his scum-bag best friend gets out of jail, and needs his help clearing up some old debts.

Review:
Rounders is one of those movies that seems to have slipped between the cracks. Like Chris Elliott's classic Cabin Boy, Rounders was never released theatrically in Canada. That's why the majority of people have never heard of it. But, unlike Cabin Boy, this movie is actually worth watching.

Norton and Damon turn in some great performances, but it's Malkovich as the Russian card-shark that steals the show. Johnny boy pulls out all the stops and walks away with the whole movie in the end.

When all is said and done, Rounders is a great movie with a great cast. It's just to bad it didn't get a better response when it was released.

Special Features :
I guess this section reflects how well this movie did in the theatres, cause all you get is the trailer and some other movie suggestions. The trailer sucks by the way. No wonder this movie tanked.

Video and Audio:
For a unknown film, this DVD has got one great looking picture. I guess that has to do with the number of times the original prints were actually put through a projector. On the audio side we're talking Dolby 5.1, which is always the way to go.
