IMDb plot summary: A young, reformed gambler must return to playing big stakes poker to help a friend pay off loan sharks, while balancing his relationship with his girlfriend and his commitments to law school.
Directed by John Dahl. Starring Matt Damon, Edward Norton, John Turturro, and John Malkovich.
This is a lot of fun. Definitely taps into the adrenaline and the desperation of the narrative. It feels very much like a heist movie. Edward Norton does an excellent job of playing truly loathsome characters.
