Best poker film I’m aware of. Matt Damon and Ed Norton (especially) portray their characters perfectly. Very fun and easy to watch but the poker lingo can make some lines a bit confusing without actually making the narrative hard to follow. As entertaining as the characters all are in the story, they can come across a bit cartoonish at times, especially Teddy KGB.

Incredible to watch the first time and I’ll update this review when rewatching becomes any less enjoyable (I’m beyond my 10th rewatch). Stand-out performances from the entire star-studded cast. The lead character inspires a great level of personal investment without being cheesy. All the major flash points of the story are gripping, exciting and well-built up.
