Movie
The whole cast delivers fine performances, especially Malkovich. His Russian accent is 100%. Norton and Damon are just plain fun to watch. Norton's character, Worm, is a weasel of a human being, but still is amusing to see. While not knowing hardly anything about poker, I found myself still very interested in the game they were playing and the movie they were acting in.
Disc
Another lame disc from Miramax. The trailer is the only feature. If you'll notice, the trailer offers a few scenes not in the movie. So I'm asking myself, why aren't they included in a deleted scenes section? The audio is good, but not great. Granted, this movie is all about talking, but some scenes, you either have to turn the volume up all the way or use subtitles, because it's very difficult to hear some of the actors. The video is good for a non-anamorphic. The only flaw is some scenes are a tad too bright. In all, it's another lazy effort from a lazy studio.
Overall
If you like the movie, you should buy it. If you're looking for a dvd with features and great audio, you should play your hand on something else.
