There is something that is just appealing about the fight between innovation and things that already simply work well enough. As someone who works in many industrial settings, this plays out all the time. This movie at the root is this. How something that looks good on paper may not necessarily be as good as what you already have. I find it hard to not watch this movie and feel through the movie for the soldier and the emotions that you can feel running through his mind. The realization of a lost life, a purpose other than what an entire life was trained for, and so on is all readily able to be seen going on in the Soldier despite his limited words. 55 - Rounders Pay that man his money! While cards and poker always get simplified in movies, I like the game. The cast here is impeccable. The game of no limit hold 'em basically is his life. Seriously. He doesn't know when to fold at the right spots for basically throughout the movie. But, unlike his friend who sees all the angles and refuses to take them... he sees a lot of the angles and isn't afraid to pounce on them. His life is always watching out for those limited angles he doesn't see making it all crash down. Norton is great in this movie. --- Xbox Live User Name - Corrik PSN User Name - Corrik7 Currently playing: Control (X1) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
