Two of the finest actors in Hollywood play off each other in this thriller.Matt Damon plays a card shark trying to stay out of trouble. Edward Norton plays his friend who keeps dragging him back into trouble. The final poker game is so perfectly paced that you can't look away.

" Date: 4/26/2020 Viewed: Netflix Rewatch Note: I haven't seen this movie since the late 90s and I decided to rewatch it because it is leaving Netflix soon after April. This movie still holds up pretty well in my opinion. The movie is far from being perfect and the story may not be originally, but I still find this movie to be enjoyable. The movie has a fun cast of characters and the story is still interesting. Matt Damon and Ed Norton have a very good chemistry with each other on screen. You a"
