I don't see why this movie isn't well known and up there known as one of the greats. I mean, the acting, filmography, the story and the film score. I loved the way poker was used as a metaphor for different things like life and a relationship. Its a movie that I can't stop watching because it toys with your emotions and finally rewards you as a viewer whos been there when our main character is at his low points in life but also at his highs. It makes us feel attached to Mike and his feelings about other people. And also what a great poker movie, growing up playing poker makes me wanna find the old poker set and start playing. Great movie

After watching this movie for the second time I still fell the powerfullness of the ending and the downfalls of our main character. I really think that even though Andrew success in the end there many storys like this in the real world where the stars have had rough teachers who have been teaching in the way Fletcher does. An inhumane way in my opinion. And this movie showcases how a teacher can change someone
