Rounders should come with a complimentary pillow for when the third-act CGI soup inevitably kicks in.

“The devil tomato approves... reluctantly.”
Rounders
Masterfully crafted. Un-roastable.
An absolute cinematic disaster.
Poker addict Mike McDermott knows the game inside out, but loses his money one night in a game to Russian-American gangster Teddy KGB. Promising his partner Jo he'll give up, he meets up with best friend Lester 'Worm' Murphy, just out of prison and owing lots of money to the wrong kind of people. McDermott becomes his co-guarantor and now there's only one way to raise the money, the pair have to get back into the game.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in Rounders?
Rewatched Rounders last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Rounders actually is?
Everyone praising the Rounders performances must have watched a different cut. The lead is sleepwalking through this and the supporting cast can't save it.
Unpopular opinion: Rounders is the most overrated film of the decade
Look, I wanted to love Rounders. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.
The cinematography in Rounders is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Just got out of Rounders and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
