The Cincinnati Kid is a good, if flawed and overlong movie. Don't get me wrong, I still like it and enjoyed watching Steve McQueen and also Edward G. Robinson's performances. But if you ask me, it was much longer than it needed to be. The movie is entertaining throughout, but it kind of drags until the final act. The pacing can make the film at certain points, but the acting and great poker scenes make this worth checking out. If you liked this film, then I suggest that you watch the Sting, since it's kind of like this movie, but much better.
