I realize that this is an older movie, but is it worth buying?

Thank you for all the replies

I am a poker addict, no I have not seen it, and Walmart always does have the best prices.

I guess I should go pick it up then

They just released a new special edition of Rounders. The older version of the DVD isn't worth as much now, but it's a rather good movie.

Anything with Ed Norton in it is worth watching.

I dug it quite a bit.

It has Famke Jansen, one of Hollywood's hottest actresses. How is she relatively unknown after the big roles that she has had?

It has Matt Damon, who I dig.

It had Ed Norton, whom I love. He's a great actor.

It has John Malkovich and John Turturro. When Martin Landeau is taking back stage to the rest of the cast, that's saying something.

JohnTutorro is anazing in it. As is Malkovich. My fave John M. role

My only problem with the film is that Worm is a jerk from the beginning. How did he con anyone? How did he convince anyone that he's a decent human being?

He doesn't care about anyone in the universe. How did Mike think this guy was worth sticking up for? Supposedly he didn't rat Mike out, but everything we see about Worm is the ability to sell people out at every single opportunity.

Ed Norton can pull a subtle shift as an actor. Worm should have appeared decent, only to sell out Mike in a moment of weakness (to protect his own ass).

When I rewatch the movie, I find it hard to accept the same character who can read people with absolute ease and perfection hanging out with a good mentor (in Turturro) and having Worm as his friend at the same time.

Mike is good natured, but not that stupid.

And after your woman who doesn't understand you or care about your feelings leaves you without even talking to you, how do you turn down a woman who knows you and cares about you (and looks like Famke Jansen)?

Still, a good movie. I've just watched it too much.

well we dont know what he was like before prison... mike would want to think the best of him in any case but if he was trustworthy before prison, mike would want him to do well on the outside even more so for the fact that he didnt rat him out (and he probably felt guilty)... that would mean giving him some leeway as he just got out...

This is definately a good movie. And for a poker player its a great movie... unless all your friends think they ARE Mike

Still a good buy...
