K K This would not be a movie that I would pick. Yet I am glad I stumbled upon it. I thought the opening and closing scenes fit nicely and summarized the story. Good acting, interesting storyline. I liked the flow and direction. The music is great. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/24 Full Review Joseph S "The Cincinnati Kid" is a stylish and riveting journey into the high-stakes world of poker. Steve McQueen's cool charisma and a stellar supporting cast deliver a compelling narrative punctuated by tense card games. The film's timeless allure lies in its simplicity—an expertly crafted exploration of ambition and rivalry. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review CodyZamboni Z Movie was compelling for most of the way. Charismatic stars anchor this film. I was most fascinated by the realistic poker playing scenes, some of the best card playing scenes ever. Ann Margret is stunning, so attractive, but 1960's dress and hairstyles don't match 1930s time period. Fine work by editor Hal Ashby, and director Norman Jewison. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Audience Member Somewhat sad ending, though if The Kid had won, it might be considered "predictable." Ms. Margaret smolders throughout. Fantastic performance by Edward G. Robinson and a good one from perennial supporting actor Karl "Streets of San Francisco" Malden. Wise-cracking Joan Blondell also earned her paycheck. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member It started off with a bang and ended on a whimper. It's a star studded cast, where most of the supporting cast are hamming it up, with some excessive over acting, at times winking straight at the camera., I guess to make up for the paper thin characters, and the ever rigid, ever brooding Steve McQueen, (a grown man, who's supposed to be playing the Kid). If you squint hard enough, you could accept that it's all taken place in the depression era of the 1930's, But again Steve McQueen's hair style and wardrobe looked, distractingly contemporary, witch also plagued the rest of the production design. Edward G. Robinson and Ann-Margret gave some solid performances, but couldn't stop this movie from sinking further into a quality of kooky, campiness, weighed down with heavy, at times exaggerated caricatures. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Imagine playing 5 card stud. You're getting beat by the young up and comer - McQueen - and on the final hand you draw... well, just imagine! Greatest of all time!
