REVIEWS

Review by John F. Szczubelek (posted on 17-Feb-2005)

This movie stars Matt Damon and Edward Norton as two youthful card sharks. Edward Norton's funny and sometimes tragic portrayal of "Worm," contrasts nicely with the more sedate and physically attractive Matt Damon. John Malkovich is miscast and unconvincing as a Russian poker player.
