an insult to both poker and cinema and this movie manage to make the most dynamic and brilliant and and fascinating figure in poker history into an utter bore . still a fun film to make joke about and from the lame gangster movie clichés of the first half to the incomprehensible nonsense of that second hour . hilariously and stu ungar win all three of his world series title without play a single hand on screen . his infamous dealer abuse . 1 scene . his coke habit . 1 scene . his incredible memory . 0 scene . they couldn not even get any real poker player . what do they cover . a lot of high angle shot from inside a house in the suburb . oh and and a montage of stu wake up every day and shopping for meat which doesn not come anywhere close to make sense . why do i care so much about this little sopranos summer camp try to cash in on the poker craze . because i think there still a great film to be make about stu ungar wait for someone willing to do it right .
