 SPLICEDwire: "Rounders" review
"Rounders" is a movie in which the central character is not nearly as fascinating as the fringe players that surround him.
Norton's tarnished penny character doesn't have to draw the fawning femme audience, so he has the freedom to be deliciously fowl, reckless and slimy in a performance that would dominate the movie if he weren't such a good actor that he knows his place as a supporting character.
"Rounders" (a term for a skilled player who earns a living at poker) is about Mike's guilt-by-association re-entry into the gambling scene and his resulting struggle to maintain a front as the scrupulous, upright Joe he's trying to become.

A `rounder', from what I gathered from the film, is a person who sees all the angles and makes a living playing cards.
A `grinder' is a rounder, but is a cautious player, interested only in playing it safe, avoiding the big risks and possible big rewards, always satisfied in being able to make enough to live reasonably well.
"Rounders" is not a bad film because of its flaws, but unfortunately its one-dimensionality makes it only a decent film and while it isn't a great film, it is an entertaining one.

 DVD Verdict Review - Rounders: Collector's Edition
Rounders, a fairly low-budget (by Hollywood standards) drama set in New York City's seedy underground poker scene, opened in the fall of 1998, with a pair of up-and-coming young actors as co-stars.
Rounders doesn't quite have three true legends of the 20th Century screen in its cast, but that's not to say that the acting leaves much to be desired.

ohn Dahl's "Rounders" is full of tense poker scenes, where fortune rides on the snap of a card and the loft of a bluffer's eyebrow or how many times someone holding for real licks his lips, but it's not really about card playing.
But as brilliant as they are as card sharks, they're better as people sharks: They read rubes like primers, from the wiggle of their nostrils to the eloquent language of their constricting larynxes.
Then they take their money so adroitly the rubes don't even know it, except once in a while, when the rounders get greedy or arrogant – character, as corrupted by talent – and chaos ensues.
