Poker Movies - The Sting

I remember now to The Sting, as I do not deal in poker. In fact, I think if I saw it (because my father had a video and wanted to see him, so everyone else had), I did not know how to play poker. Despite the fact that the film captured the interest of everyone in the room, and we all ended up tied up on the screen. With Robert Redford and Paul Newman as the main characters, this was no surprise.

The film revolves around Johnny Hooker (RobertRedford) tries to avenge the death of his friend and mentor Luther Coleman (Robert Earl Jones). Coleman was killed by Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw), a notorious gangster and players. In the coming up with a detailed plan for Lonnegan stunt and ultimately destroy it, it takes the help Gordoff Hooker Henry (Paul Newman), who will be the greatest deceiver of all time.

In case there are those who have not seen the film, I'll refrain from spillingMore details and give spoilers (as I unfortunately not with The Cincinnati Kid). However, we simply say that the film believes that there is justice in this world. Is that enough for you?

The trick is in fact one of the best movies you can watch about poker and gambling in general. In fact, thousands and thousands of people will agree with you, as it was one of the most popular films of the early 70s. It boasts of 7 Academy Awards, which include best film, best director,Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Score.
