How many stars?
I give it 7 stars just for the cast - and finally 8 or even 9 overall.
This is a mini masterpiece that will be an icon for ever (as long as civilization lasts, that is)
I hardly find poker interesting, but there was never a dull moment for me here... That's how to make an entertaining movie.
Give me Cincinnati Kid over "Django Unchained" or "Lincoln" any day of the week.
Hard? Try a 10 AM pitch meeting coked to the gills & you haven't even read the treatment.
