This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. As I write this quick comment, I am watching the movie again. It is such an excellent film. Matt Damon shows his best performance in this other than his role in "Good Will Hunting". Edward Norton does great as Damon's shady best friend (and strangely reminds me of Sean Penn in this film). John Dahl directed a great movie. The script is very well written. David Levien and Brian Koppelman really know their s*** as far as the poker world goes (but really failed with their directorial debut of "Knockaround Guys").
This movie isn't for your modern day movie watcher, since it's all about acting and story. But for the people who really enjoy great films, this is one of the greatest movies to be made in the last ten years.
SCORE: 10 out of 10 (a perfection of its kind)
