Norton is his best bud (GWH again but let's stop this now) Worm who, on being released from prison, tempts his friend back to the poker tables in an attempt to pay off his $25,000 gambling debt. Rounders is in fact a New York-set gambling drama with the man of the moment Matt Damon hunting audience's post-Good Will Hunting good will and delivering a distinctly below par effort.ĭamon neatly synthesises his last two roles as a wrong-side-of-the-tracks (Good Will Hunting) inexperienced law student (The Rainmaker) Mike McDermott, who also happens to be a poker 'genius' (oh, more GWH).
Those happily expecting a big screen account of the peculiar baseball-lite played in primary schools across the country are, sadly, in for something of a disappointment.
