Movie Reviews of Tilt - Season One
Movie Review: Fantastic Fiction
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been playing poker since I was a kid in a caddyshack in 1993. I've been an avid fan of excellent writing and film shortly thereafter. This is an excellent combination of the two. Koppleman and Levine revive the spirit of Rounders in Tilt, more or less a near extension of the spirit of the film. It's greatly appreciated by this viewer how the hands aren't over the top, more people win with straights and boats than the over-dramatized and rarely dealt four of a kind or the hallowed royal straight flush. The characters are varied, and have strong personal development without the necessity of going too far or too heavily into the background except when it's necessary as a device to tell the story. The pace of the story is excellent with solid forward momentum, along with creative cinematography that enhances rather than over-does; a smashing choice of casting effective actors who aren't huge ego-maniacal celebrities, and most appreciated were some of the unique poker personalities who make guest appearances throughout the episodes. Some of Madsen's performances were a bit thin, but overall this is an excellent series which should have been carried on to another season, possibly with different characters, and even (dare I say it) another choice of game.
