I just caught this off Netflix recently, and loved it! "All In: The Poker Movie" is a must-see for fans and non-fans of the game alike. It goes into the history of the game, and it's recent rise on TV.
The film features dozens of interviews with professional players, as well as entertainers like director John Dahl and Matt Damon, who collaborated on the 1998 film, "Rounders"- a movie many say really helped make the game a mainstream interest.
The film also goes into the whole concept of this game, a sport like no other- where an amateur can come off the street and play all the professionals- and possibly WIN!?? The movie also shows how the ratings for the sport are becoming higher than all the other major sports- AND, unlike THOSE sports, this one is played all-year round!!??
