Movie Review by B Movie Ben

April 9th, 2008

We can't run from who we are.

Favorite Movie Quote: "It hurts doesn't it? Your hopes dashed, your dreams down the toilet. And your fate is sitting right besides you."

What stuck with me in watching this? In "Confessions of a Winning Poker Player," Jack King said, "Few players recall big pots they have won, strange as it seems, but every player can remember with remarkable accuracy the outstanding tough beats of his career." It seems true to me, cause walking in here, I can hardly remember how I built my bankroll, but I can't stop thinking of how I lost it.

Every time I think about poker, I remember the night I lost it with a straight flush. But, leave it to Matt Damon to remind me about that night.

Damon and Edward Norton were fantastic in a film that makes poker look interesting. No, I cannot fathom how anyone could watch poker on TV, but I was enchanted by their performances.

Of course, it doesn't hurt to have John Turturro, John Malkovich, Gretchen Mol, Famke Janssen, and Martin Landau to help you out.

Great movie about life, losing, and chasing your dreams.
