For what it's worth, here's a more positive review:

Personally, I don't get into the whole director's commentary/behind the scenes stuff, so I'll make due with my original version.

[whiskeytown]

I'd really like to see some deleted scenes...

it's obvious from clips I've seen that Famke and Mike got it on at one point, and I think there's a point in there where they do again....

gawd...if all russian women were that hot and into poker players, we'd never get rid of all the fish....we'd be millionaires...

A bad review, not a bad movie.

[whiskeytown]

I agree...but in the world of DVD's, the extras on the first disk were pathetic (none, really...just the trailer) -
at least they tried a bit better here. But what I love are the deleted scenes...

RB

[ThaSaltCracka]

what deleted scenes are there?

[whiskeytown]

watch the trailer - theres stuff on there I don't remember seeing otherwise -

besides, there's ALWAYS deleted scenes in that stuff...

isn't there a deleted scene somewhere where Gretchen Mol and Famke Janssen get into a fight ala White Chick and Sista Girl in Undercover Brother?
if not, there should be.

[daryn]

yeah, russian girls are like that. either smoking hot or fugly.

I saw some movie on IFC the other day with this really attractive girl. Much to my surprise, it ended up being Gretchen Mol. She's a lot cuter as a brunette.

(I have low content)

I am almost positive that Famke Janssen is Dutch.

Born in the Netherlands. Is that Dutch?

For instance, there is a scene in the trailer where one of the prison cigarette game players confronts Worm in a NYC card room.

I'll probably wind up getting this collector's edition DVD, but I'm not running out to do it.

August 31, 2004 - This movie came six years too soon. Had Rounders come out now, in theaters, it would be a much bigger hit than it was in 1998. That's assuming that World Series of Poker addicts can tear themselves away from ESPN long enough to get to a theater.

Seems like a chicken/egg type of problem with this statement.
