20161026:
For the most part, I thought this movie would have a sense of thrill, but for whatever reason, I didn't feel the suspense of the final showdown. Or perhaps I've finally seen enough movies that certain stories and scenarios are just too predictable.
Overall, I'd probably rate Rounders 3.5 or 3.7 out of 5 stars. Since Netflix doesn't allow partial ratings, I'll go ahead and give it a 4 out of 5 stars on Netflix; prior to my rating, Netflix had it rated at 4 out of 5 stars.
Instant Comments:
Ha. "Want a cookie?"
That's good, a slight
Ha. "Where's the rest?"
Ha. Threw away all his "earnings" (cigarettes).
Clint Eastwood.
Way to screw them over.
"So that's it huh? Just like a young man coming in for a quickie. I feel so unsatisfied."
