Title: Re: High Roller: Post by: ACE2M on November 03, 2006, 04:56:38 PM is that the movie with the guy from the sopranos?
If yes then the story is interesting but the film is an absolute dog. Title: Re: High Roller: Post by: Sark79 on November 03, 2006, 05:00:47 PM I tried to download this once, but I could see myself ageing in the mirror when it was downloading as it took so long. When it eventually downloaded, I had forgotten what it was I was downloading. It had a blank screen and was a waste of my time. I tried to get the DVD, but I couldn't find it anywhere in Glasgow
Title: Re: High Roller: Post by: b_000_m on November 03, 2006, 08:02:05 PM Yes Michael Imperioli from Sopranos (plays Christopher), was on TV in the US yesterday...I found it interesting and with regards to the previous poster saying the movie was a dog, I disagree, you dont exactly expect Scorcese to take this one on board, I'm sure with the budget they had, they made as good as they could. I quite enjoyed it, and would recommend viewing it should you ever come across it.

Title: Re: High Roller: Post by: Sheriff Fatman on November 03, 2006, 10:08:11 PM The film is OK but if you want to get an insight into Stu Ungar's life then Nolan Dalla's book "One Of A Kind" is a better option.
Sheriff Title: Re: High Roller: Post by: Longy on November 05, 2006, 01:31:09 PM Have to agree with Sherrif, get the book if you want a sense of Stuey's true life. Fascinating life, if ultimately a tragic waste of talent.
