Very best movie i ever watch

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I would be lying if I didn't say I was disappointed with the TV series, "Tilt". I thought Rounders was a brilliant movie, and expected the TV show to be at least close to as good as the movie. My impression after watching the first few episodes was that a lot of the acting was bad (except for Madsen, of course), the writing was cheesy, and there wasn't that much actual poker playing involved. Tha being said, however, I watched the whole series without missing an episode. Despite its flaws, the show is interesting, and makes sure that you want to watch the next episode to see what happens. If you haven't seen it yet, don't expect "Rounders: The Series", but expect a show that is fun to watch, and will have you quote lines from it with your friends.

There was another mistake on this show in the season finale. When at the final table of the World Championship of Poker, The Metador, Miami and Eddie Towne were in on a hand with the board reading... T J Q. The Metador had the made straight with 98 in the hole. Eddie had AA and Miami had TT to give her a set. After everyone checked the flop, a K came up to give Eddie the Ace high straight. On this card the t.v. reads that Eddie has a 90% chance of winning, Miami a 10% shot and The Metador with a 0%(dont quote me on the percentages). The error here is that The Metador had just as good a chance of hitting an Ace and splitting with Eddie as Miami. Did anyone else catch this?

This show is awful. While its depiction of the technicalities of the play of poker is accurate, the actual situations that develop and the representation of poker in general is awful. There are no characters to root for in the show, all of the people are really bad people. Some have reasons for why they are less than acceptable specimens of the human race, but they should all be disposed of. The writing is rife with clichés and stereotypes, and all of the worst kind. It's actually painful to watch.I was initially interested in the show because I do play poker and am familiar with the poker world and the professional players. I also know some of the people involved in the show, so I really wanted to like it.I'm sorry to say this show does a complete disservice to poker, to television and to the audience. There are some less than reputable characters in the poker world, but this show makes it seem like the game is filled with nothing but con men, hustlers, cheats and worse. It's interesting that they chose this take on poker, as right now poker is more popular than it has ever been in history, and poker shows are among the most popular on ESPN, as well as other channels.

First of all, I don't know when Poker became a sport. I guess when all my uncle's got together on weekends to play cards they were showing off their athletic skills huh? Anyway, I digress...I have seen all of the ESPN movies and each one has been horrible, and Tilt is no exception. Bad acting, predictable story, and very low budget look just like all the rest. Plus, ESPN plugs the heck out of their movies...I swear I saw a commercial for Tilt once during every commercial break I saw on ESPN the past couple of weeks leading up to it's premier.Anyway, my advice is...don't waste your time watching this movie. Hopefully ESPN will stick to SportsCenter.
