reason i ask is i just got a DVD of oceans 12 for my birthday....didnt like it and want to exchange it for a good poker movie. I've seen rounders and think its great, but i heard grifters is supposed to be pretty good and i havent seen it yet

I don't believe Grifters is a poker movie.

But we got to see Annette Benning naked, so I'll go with The Grifters.

Grifters is a con artist movie, doesnt have one card scene in it, see if you can exchange it for CINCINNATI KID.

IF you want to watch poker, get Rounders.

If you want to watch cheating scumbags, get...Rounders.

If you want a GOOD movie, get Grifters.

but wasn't annette bening's nude shot a movie effect? i mean, it sure was strangely dark-ish around her neck and body when she was shown on the bed proposing to pay her debt with sex. it looked like some kind of movie FX.

good flick, but no poker. might as well watch "last man standing". i think that was the name. (matthew lillard, james earl jones) was about home game poker, playing 5-draw for the lottery tickets. low man eliminated, until...last man standing. winner takes the lotto-tickets, then calls-in to check the numbers. it wasn't entirely wretched. if you've ever played silly home games, then you would relate.
