"Wow. Wow. Lotta action. Lot. Of. Action" I still quote this to this day, almost 25 years after first seeing this film. Ed is such an incredibly diverse actor.
Whenever Edward Norton plays "bad" characters. It's so easy to hate him. He plays them so well. The man is a genius actor. Should have gotten even more recognition for his roles.
Yes he plays bad characters but if you check out his films, Norton gets his a** kicked all the time. I hated the bathroom scene in American X and how he cried to get out of jail. Denzel is the bad dude to the end, dead or alive. I have watched more than a dozen of Edward's films over this past summer, and he is a genius to a fault. Does anyone knows where Norton is or is he working on anything? It's like he vanished off the face of the earth.
"You should've played those kings, Mike." Gotta love Worm having the balls (and stupidity) to run his deal mechanics in a room full of large cops who all know each other and Worm and Mike are the only outsiders. And Worm's not even messing around with marginal hands to hide the cheating, just dealing Mike nothing but monsters all night.
Yes, I don’t know these kind of games work, but it always seemed like we had to suspend disbelief in this scene to think a room full of cops would let two strangers who both show up on the same night and sit them down at the same table.
It was amazing that no matter how much worm got Mike into trouble, he forgave him and got him out of trouble every time. Worm didn’t deserve the forgiveness. Brilliant movie on all levels.
Yes why did he first point become friends with the little worm, when he only gets Matt in problems and is okay like friend, when there is still better friends you could get. You dont improve in poker by cheating in poker, so why Matt went along with his friend trying to cheat in poker. Cheaters always get worse in playing the game normally, than the not cheater people just like in video games, so when they take the cheats off. Their actually worse, than before using the cheats, so thats why cheating is just for crying sore losers, that just cheat so they could win, when they just get even worse that way in the video game.
Remember the scene where Worm gets out of prison. Mike owed him one because Worm didn't rat him out when they rigged that basketball game. Worm got kicked out of school for it.
@@BispingKILL He's from Rohan. I think he was the chief advisor to King Theoden, but he was an agent and spy to Saruman the White, so you're right not to trust him.
Mike shoulda walked either immediately when Worm showed up or soon thereafter. It's one thing to play against tourists or arrogant college kids, but you're sitting down with a card sharp in a room full of trained observers, maybe it won't go bad, but if it does - it'll go real bad.
Either that or said he knew worm and request they be seated at different tables, even if that request was denied at least it might make work think twice about cheating since they’d have known they were friendly beforehand
I knew a couple friends just like this - Worm, the self destructive narcissist, and Mike, the co-dependent. It's a sad friendship, but it does happen in real life
I have so much respect for Ed Norton - he can consistently create characters you just want to punch. I've seen him play nice guys, too, but the guy just has the talent for creating horrible people. Underrated, imo.
@@ActivistVictor My guess is that Worm didn't cheat every time he dealt. So, he played it straight most of the time. But, every so often he'd deal Mike a monster hand. Most players wouldn't even have seen what was going on, but somehow that one cop did. He's probably a detective with Law and Order by now. BTW, ain't no beatin' like a cop mob beatin'. And, you can't even report it to anyone.
Worm is just so infuriating in this scene. Mike had it all sewn up. Then Worm saunters in and just blows it all to hell, earning them both a brutal beatdown and setting them back to square one.
The really annoying thing about this scene is that Mike was on his way to making up the debt and then Worm had to force his way in and sabotage it all.
My favorite part of the movie. This is that little reminder to be careful WHO you hang around; especially when the pressure is on to succeed in life and the margin for stupid, bad judgement errors is small (basically, all the time). This is one of the modern day reminders which are good because you can relate to it. Same ol' situation it's always been but with a new, modern twist! Key point besides the totally unnecessary cheating frequency factor: The cop on "Worm's" right (closest to him) is checking his dealing out like the cards are last month's issue of "Playboy." Also, he said "municipal workers" in the first place. Still a good idea as long as they play straight up. Then, he actually let his buddy (who's helping him) drive at least part of the 5 hours on little or no sleep and go in. Furthermore, this FOOL was supposed to be bowling anyway! If he had kept his mouth shut about being a card shark (lo-o-o-o-ng after his parents told him not to talk to strangers) none of this would have happened. WTF? Stupid is as stupid does? NO WAY! Stupid is stupid! On the other hand "Mike" should have left soon after he saw "idiot" start cheating too much or signal him to STOP! That way, either "Worm" pulls it off, stops cheating and just plays, or doesn't stop, gets caught and only gets the crap beaten out of HIMSELF. Last but not least, everything Mike helped him with "Worm" could have done himself, instead (let's recap) he got bored of poker and tried to beat a rigged blackjack game, and wanted to hang out in a strip joint he knows that thug wannabe "Grandma" hung out at! Mike should have finished law school and kept his girlfriend. The shave was "Worms" brilliant idea in the first place and he did the right thing by doing the time himself. This is one of the greatest films ever made in regards to life, the value of good character and learning NOT to misplace your time, trust or overbear or overstate loyalty and respect with the wrong people! This film is a modern life lesson on the stupidity and arrogance as well as overly loyal dumb mistakes good people can still make.
Worm forgot that cops know both sides of the law. Cops see a little of everything in the course of doing their jobs...in person, on security videos, in training, etc. so for worm to think nobody would spot his bottom-dealing was pretty stupid.
Well, Worm is the low level punk, not Mike. Like he said, he was winning before Worm showed up. Mike was playing with pure skill, but Worm had to ruin it and drag Mike down with him.
@@NotShowingOff why not? Mike was already up over 4 thousand. Without worm showing up, he could have easily gone on to get close and make up the difference at another game in the city.
These two anti-heroes are so convincing and I root for them so much that every time this scene comes on (when this film is on TV) I have to change channels until it's over. This really hurts.
I am not a big fan of sequels but this movie deserves one. I am glad they did not try to put together a sequel a few yrs later because it might have been a flop. The setting right now would be perfect. Matt Damon enters the high tech era of rounders which includes world of social media the poker hoodie era online poker etc etc. The only sequel to my knowledge that achieved world wide success was Godfather 2 and Rocky 2 but to a lesser degree . Will the sequel actually become a reality or is it still in the talking stages?
Tony Lombardo he didn’t have a chance to fold. He checked because you don’t just fold your hand before a bet has even been made. He folded previous hands, that’s why he was frustrated to begin with.
Who would try to cheat in that environment? Liars lie. Cheaters cheat. Thieves steal. Boys will be boys. Men will be men. If you can not be real with real people you better stick to being fake with fake people... if you don’t know or can’t tell the difference your always going lose and not just a beat down and leave crying with empty pockets.
This was before Poker After Dark and all the poker shows. So getting a game was not as easy as it would be today. The mistake was to cheat around a bunch of cops.
Remember when Worm called them “municipal workers,” and Mikey McDermott said, “they work for the state, you idiot!” Those aren’t “sheriff” deputies as the title of this video states. They’re state troopers. Sheriff deputies are typically county employees.
What's actually really messed up about this scene is two guys taking a beating from a room full of angry large cops and after it's over they look a little bruised. In reality you would be missing some teeth , cheek or nose or BOTH broken , maybe your jaw. It's scenes like this that make guys think that a fight is not too dangerous . There are people who can kill you with a single punch.
This would be a great origin story for Hulk. Bruce Banner with a gambling addiction, hustles cops gets his ass kicked, goes to Central America, becomes Hulk and comes back to kick all the cops ass.
Dude... Why on earth can't I find this actor that grabs Ed Norton's hand anywhere??? I just saw him in a Law and Order episode as well, and he's nowhere to be found!!! I guess his name is Stu in this... He's in episode 16 of season 8 in Law and Order as well, but not on either IMDB nor Wikipedia for either of them!
The best part is the next scene when they are getting themselves together outside after the beating the first thing worm says is “why didn’t play those queens mike?” Lmao!
Uhhhh yeah, vampires being sparkly in the sun is more believable than a bunch of cops being savvy enough to spot someone dealing from the bottom of the deck. Oh, AND a guy who is good enough to stack the bottom few cards with exactly what he wants while shuffling.
Stormie33 You are right. Bottom dealing is a reality, and if people aren't good enough to catch it, they shouldn't sit down at the table. Catching a hanger, however, is a reality as well. Even the best cheaters drag that thumb occasionally, just like all all-world NFL receivers missing easy passes in their careers occasionally.
This is weird. I have a different memory of this scene... possibly mixing in another movie... I remember worm finally admitting and saying 'ok you caught me what do you want to do' or something like that and then Mike getting angry saying "what I don't know who you are" before getting hit. Must have dreamt it.
Why the hell did worm stand up and basically admit they were cheating? You fight that allegation and just say ok then screw you guys we will just take our money and leave and play elsewhere lol 😆
Don't forget: It wasn't that Mike was AGAINST cheating--he just didn't want to get CAUGHT cheating. Mike's a cheater; he got everything he deserved. Less actually.
Stupid friends can bring you down harder than your worst enemies
Like Mike said when Worm told him about not letting a Garbage Can drop on his Head, He said "You're gonna get outta the Way It's gonna Land on me."
Like what we Chinese speaking people have always said in online gaming : I fear no god-like enemies, only pig-like teammates.
Yes - hide in your shell
That's the funny thing, enemies typically lift you up by motivating you. Hate is an inexhaustible energy source.
Pretty stupid move! Cheating against cops.... Death wish!

Nope, totally foolish to do that in front of all the police officers. It was reckless and dumb.
Lucky they were cops. Had they tried that at KGB's place, they'd be taking the "Goodfellas" ride in the trunk of someone's Buick.
That is why they would NEVER have tried that at KGB's place. 🙂

I don't understand why Mike didn't simply fold during each of Worm's dealing hands.
He could't fold on that last hand - he just checked...he had no way out of that one - it was stud..
Yeah he folded the kings when he could preflop but in the stud hand it wasn't possible to fold.
Would've been just as suspicious if he folded that last hand.
Because it's not in the script :)

These cops don’t work for the sheriff; as stated earlier in the movie, they’re “municipal workers”; the sheriff’s department works for the county.
Worm played perfectly by Norton, just a guy with 'Born To Lose' written all over himself. Nothing but bad decisions and poor judgment. Pure greed.

Looks like a normal day downtown.
When comforting a grammar Nazi, I always say softly, “There, their, they’re.”
Worm got greedy
Caught a hanger sarge
what game are they playing?
he couldn't believe he caught a hanger
“Caught us a hanger Sarge.” Lolol
Cops taking their normal predatory pack tactics to the card room.
Those are NY State Troopers, not Deputy Sheriffs. The uniforms are wrong as well.
sloppy dealing especially with a suspicious dude staring right at him
This is weird. I have a different memory of this scene... possibly mixing in another movie... I remember worm finally admitting and saying 'ok you caught me what do you want to do' or something like that and then Mike getting angry saying "what I don't know who you are" before getting hit. Must have dreamt it.
Why the hell did worm stand up and basically admit they were cheating? You fight that allegation and just say ok then screw you guys we will just take our money and leave and play elsewhere lol 😆
I guess they could've tried but it was so obvious lol.
they had him dead to rights
his name was ROBERT PAULSON
Talk about walking into the wrong bar...
Matt Damon's character didn't even want to play them at all.
I guess the sergeant is allowed to wear blue jeans with his uniform?
Don't forget: It wasn't that Mike was AGAINST cheating--he just didn't want to get CAUGHT cheating. Mike's a cheater; he got everything he deserved. Less actually.
What poker variant are they playing here?
7 card stud if I remember correctly
No its 5 card considering Matt Damon had a Full house.
John Stjohn They started with two down cards. That's seven-card stud! You can still make a full house in seven card stud heh
hypersphere
You're right my bad.
