Review of Shade (2014) by Anders A — 07 Jan 2008
Probably the BEST hustler/poker/grifter movie i've ever seen. I know what you're all gonna say, "rounders is the best". in all fairness to both movies, they can't truly be compared to eachother.
But this movie definately pulled out all the stops in order to show what the life of a card cheat is really like.
For those that dont' know, damien and paul (the creator of the "the real hustle") are true geniouses of their professions.
Stuart townsend was fantastic in his portrayel of a veteran mechanic.
The first time I watched this movie the ending just blew me away. but every mark they take down, is done so well. (sorry i'm a little distracted so i'm rambling).
But I was not expecting to see such a stellar movie when I pulled it off the rental shelf. if you like gambling, and an old fashion theme done in the modern age, this is the movie to watch.
