Master gambler Mike (Matt Damon) hangs up his poker visor after losing all his savings in a high-stakes game. Starting a new life at law school, he is dragged back into the gambling underworld by an ex-con friend (Edward Norton), who has gone in too deep with a ruthless Russian cardsharp (John Malkovich). Mike has to ply his old trade once more in an effort to secure a future for himself and his friend.
Mike McDermott (Matt Damon) is a law student who has given up his true talent (and love), gambling, when he loses all of his money to Teddy KGB (John Malkovich in a hilarious role). Months later, when his friend Worm (Edward Norton) gets out of jail and is on a strict deadline to repay a £15,000 debt to Teddy, he must decide whether or not to help his friend, threatening his student status and relationship with his girlfriend (Gretchen Mol). Tightly written, beautifully photographed by the brilliant Jean-Yves Escoffier, and well-played all across the board (particularly by Norton), this is a work of slick, enjoyable entertainment. Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play.
