"When the movie is considering the relationship between the pros and their business, it has a place to go, implying that Mike could turn into one of these bozos."  Philadelphia City Paper  Cynthia Fuchs

2/4
"Rounders is disappointing and fake, because its intentions are predictable as its characters are uninspired."  Cinemaphile.org  David Keyes

B
"Too lightweight!"  Ozus' World Movie Reviews  Dennis Schwartz

6/10
"[Provides] a lot of entertainment as well as some food for thought."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Dragan Antulov

C
"For every good thing about Rounders there is a flaw."  Film Blather  Eugene Novikov

"The struggles of a young man to find his true calling."  Spirituality and Practice  Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat

3/4
"Rounders is not breakthrough material, but it makes for an entertaining evening out."  ReelViews  James Berardinelli

2.5/4
"The movie is replete with all kinds of insider lingo that goes a long way toward painting a thoroughly convincing portrait of the gambling world."  Q Network Film Desk  James Kendrick

4.5/5
"Rounders is less about how the cards are dealt than how people deal with the situations the cards create, and will hook you from beginning to end."  Netflix  James Rocchi

3.5/4
"Damon proves once again that he's not just a face, and he does wonders with his inner and outer conflicts. Norton is wickedly sleazy as a barely-in-control low life who will undoubtedly end up back in the slammer."  Palo Alto Weekly  Jeanne Aufmuth

8/10
"You're going to have an interesting evening."  JoBlo's Movie Emporium  JoBlo

3/4
"It's still a smart and interesting picture."  Montreal Film Journal  Kevin N. Laforest

2.5/4
"This ode to the allure of clipping suckers and psyching out the competition is richly atmospheric but thin in the character department."  TV Guide's Movie Guide  Maitland McDonagh

3/4
"Worthwhile entertainment."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Michael Dequina

3.5/5
"This is an intelligent, absorbing movie that really pulled me in."  Aisle Seat  Mike McGranaghan

3/5
"O filme possui o mérito de não tentar justificar a moral de seus personagens."  Cinema em Cena  Pablo Villaca

B
"It's a likable movie and a solid follow up for Damon."  Reeling Reviews  Robin Clifford

"According to director John Dahl's Rounders, professional poker players are very, very interesting people -- for about five minutes."  Salon.com  Stephanie Zacharek

7/10
"Seductively savvy [and] suspense-filled."  rec.arts.movies.reviews  Susan Granger
