Wow, thanks for posting those. Is that the whole movie?

I saw this movie about 2 years ago and enjoyed, mostly because of being a poker player and hearing all the stories about Stuey. It's kidn of a cheap production but I enjoyed it.

For Poker players I would rate it about an 8

For non poker players maybe a 5 or 6.

It's the full movie now. I realised they didn't upload the full movie and was missing the ending, but they uploaded the end just the other day. I have added those psrt in the main post.

It isn't a Steven Spielberg or George Lucas production by any means, but if any poker player knows who Stuey Ungar is, they'll like it.

I finally got around to watching this. Decent if you are into poker but like it was posted earlier, if you don't know who Stu Ungar is before watching this you might not enjoy it.

Cheap production, awful soundtrack, but a good plot and overall I liked it.
