Full Plot Details

John Dahl directed this exploration of New York private clubs devoted to high-stakes poker, with first-person narration from the film's central figure, law student Mike McDermott (Matt Damon), who loses his entire savings to Russian club owner Teddy KGB (John Malkovich). Mike then turns away from cards, devoting his attentions to his law studies and his live-in girlfriend Jo (Gretchen Mol), who's concerned when Mike's former gambling buddy Worm (Edward Norton) is released from prison. She has good reason to worry, since it takes Worm only a matter of minutes to draw Mike back into poker action. When she learns Mike has returned to the poker clubs, she moves out, and Mike begins to lose interest in his studies. Worm has a prison debt, and the threatening Grama (Michael Rispoli) wants the money. Mike not only indulges the irresponsible Worm, he gets involved in Worm's debts. When Grama demands $15,000 on a five-day deadline, the two buddies go into high gear with a non-stop, no-sleep gambling binge that spirals downward toward an ultimate confrontation with Teddy KGB.

Movie Reviews

The New Yorker - 9/10 by Bruce DionesScreenwriters Brian Koppelman and David Levien have given some crackerjack card-shark dialogue to two hot young actors—Matt Damon and Edward Norton—and together with John Dahl's atmospheric direction they've all made a dream of a poker movie.
The A.V. Club - 8/10 by Nathan RabinRounders is such a smart, tough little film that its strengths override its fairly serious weaknesses.
Chicago Sun-Times - 8/10 by Roger EbertFor a grimmer and more realistic look at this world, no modern movie has surpassed Karel Reisz's "The Gambler'' (1974), starring James Caan in a screenplay by self-described degenerate gambler James Toback.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanDamon is a magical actor. His mind, as sharp and focused as a laser, beams out of the face of a vivacious choirboy, and, in nearly every scene, he invites you to share the jet-propelled pleasure of his precocious agility.
Washington Post - 8/10 by Stephen HunterThis isn't a movie where story matters that much: It's a movie of character and milieu, both of which it evokes brilliantly.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Elvis MitchellMischievously entertaining...Dahl's film has character in oversupply even if its actual characters are sometimes thin. Poker fever makes up for whatever the story lacks in everyday emotions.
ReelViews - 8/10 by James BerardinelliAlthough the storyline is predictable, the intelligent dialogue and top-drawer acting more than make up for the possible deficiency.
USA Today - 8/10 by Susan WloszczynaMost novel is Rounders' message that the real sin isn't giving into vice but denying your God-given talents and not risking it all.
San Francisco Examiner - 8/10 by Edvins BeitkisIn spite of how hard everything is to believe, you believe what Damon is doing.
Austin Chronicle - 7/10 by Marjorie BaumgartenThat is the heart of what's missing here: the buzz that unites these games and players, the seductive lure that excites as it also placates. The dramatic throughline is murky as well...Undeniably good are the performances, however.
