As the poster tells us four things about Stuey ("Gambler. Addict. Loser. Legend") it's disappointing that the final film can only fulfill on three of the four. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Dre A Jun 25 I can't believe how boring this movie is compared to Stu real life. See more @mawilps 03/24/2021 This gambling movie was alright. Michael Imperioli, Renee Faia, Michael Nouri, Pat Morita, Steve Schrippa, and the rest of the cast did a decent job in this movie. This true story about poker legend Stu Ungar was dark, depressing, and dramatic. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be. If you haven't seen this movie yet, don't waste your time. It's not worth watching. See more 07/18/2015 It wasn't memorable. The film could have focused more on the genius that made him special, rather than create a generic drama that is incidentally the life of someone real. See more 02/04/2015 A screenplay only a trained monkey could write. See more 11/25/2014 Choppy transitions and poor acting See more 07/10/2014 Had all the drugs, alcohol, and sex any coming of age story could have but more Poker could of made this movie a hit.
