The Mount Rushmore of truly deranged movie accents
John Malkovich in Rounders
Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins
Jared Leto in House of Gucci
Jon Voight in Anaconda
there's five minutes in the middle here where Martin Landau's character talks about why he never became a rabbi when this basically becomes the greatest film of the 1990s
i watched this then instantly installed pokerstars and won a hold em tournament for 40,000 in fake chips. electrifying. my life is on the path to ruin
This is like if you wanted to watch Good Will Hunting but needed a reason to hate Edward Norton
Rounders is the kind of irresponsible movie that makes you want to go out and lose three stacks of high society so you can spend the next three days inching your way back to where you started. Matt Damon and Edward Norton are in this fun-as-mischief poker movie; Mike (Damon) has quit gambling and become a devoted legal study until Worm (Norton) drags him into the hole again. Also John Turturro as Joey Knish, grinding it out on his leather ass for a living; Gretchen Mol as the prissy, disapproving girlfriend; Martin Landau as the sap professor who has stake money. Finally, John Malkovich as Teddy KGB — Move over Al Pacino's Tony Montana, because Malkovich delivers my all-time favorite…
What kind of trouble are you in?
I’m in the worst kind…with the worst guy.
I know I’m an outlier here, but I feel this is one of the most underrated movies of the 90’s. It preceded the poker room boom, and I think If it’d come out just a few years later it would have been a massive hit.
I love how the writing refuses to dumb down the lingo, but the narration still does a good job of cluing in the uninitiated.
There’s some great performances from Edward Norton as the worst best buddy a guy could hope for and John Turturro who kills it as the coolest guy in the room.
However it’s John Malkovich who ends up owning this movie as he CRUSHES it in one of his most memorable performances as Teddy KGB.
That final showdown is CLASSIC!
Well, are you feeling satisfied now Teddy?
