is that the movie with the guy from the sopranos?

If yes then the story is interesting but the film is an absolute dog.

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

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.

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.

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.
