John Malcovich is an iconic, versatile, amazing actor! We are lucky to witness his art in real time.

One of the greatest scenes in cinema

Next time, vanilla wafers instead of Oreos.

Pra mim, melhor cena de poker que existe

this same "beaut" was still dealin' cards when Nicky came to town in Casino.

Horrible poker form. Put the money on the table, don't muck about.

Was Tom gaaaaaay in this film?

Lets be real. Its a terrible accent. Probably got paid $10 mil. They should have hired a proper Russian (or whatever the hell Malcom is meant to be)

Is that the same dealer from the movie Casino with Joe Pesci???

How much did he take home after everything?

I kee-an't stope wee-yatching thee-is gree-ate sceene

That accent is atrocious lol

Jackie Aprile really let that cookie monster shit fly??!

well damon here is an aspiring Pro still learning the art of bankroll mangement

well the trapper gets trapped.. slow playing aces worked out here for him .. Matt damon's mistake was to put villian on a flush draw instead of considering all his range and realise he had the 3rd nuts on that board.. if he had done that he could have saved that extra 33k which he went all in with😂

This guy playing with 1 buy in.. where's the bankroll management?... He probably will go broke again once he reaches Vegas with the 60k he won against KGB in climax..

Matt damon didnt say call on the river in a casini your hand would be mucked if you showed your hand without announcing a call

Teddy eventually promoted Gramma to run the New Jersey racketeering where he went back to his given name, Jackie Aprile, who died of cancer some years later and set up a confrontation between Tony Soprano and the Shah of Iran to battle over who would control the numbers south of New York City.

Charlie Babbitt is an all time idiot with no self control

Matt's stack is almost three times KGB. He could have lost this hand and still be O'K.

This guy is the dealer in literally every movie about Casinos in Vegas lol...

“I don’t want your money touching my money” has to be the funniest thing you can say when it comes to believing in a gambling ‘jinx’. That line was hilarious

Still the worst Russian accent ever 😂

Imagine having a tell as obvious as some fuckin oreos XD so stupid

But…in the final hand, Mike has more money than Teddy, so Teddy can go all in, and Mike could match that and still have chips left. Mike’s fate was never in jeopardy in the last hand. That’s why Teddy’s goading on the last hand never made any sense to me.

Get your nose stuck into that 😂😂

I realize it’s John Malkovich, so, you know… but how can so many people be in a room filming this and not one of them goes ‘Ummm, we’ve gotta do something about this fake accent…’ it’s baffling.

Watch again, cause not only did he get a straight, he had a spade flush as well.

Sorry, but his “Russian” accent does NOT cut it.

3:57 - Teddy is sick and tired of that checking 😂

Alligator blood he keeps hanging around!!!

"You make me sad, Ray." Hilarious.

Fucking Dustin Hoffman can play a retard really well

I get why Charlie felt he had more experience and it had nothing to do with belittling his bro for being autistic, it's because in Charlie's defense, and, what is the truth, Raymond was secluded from real life when he lived at the public home. Charlie had more experience with the real world. But big bros know more if they've dealt with numbers all their life. Charlie listened to his big bro and it paid off.

I don't know shit about poker. Reading the comments is like trying to decipher Chaucer if it were written in Chinese 😂

50/501IN10 1/3 99% 1LOADING KEY CARD

Finally, a version where the dialogue isn't bleeped out.

He didn’t actually call the bet

As long as he can drive 👍

Throw thy coooookies

I can't believe I never watched Hard Eight until today. Great film, and immediately after finishing it I wanted to rewatch this scene. In the space of about 3 minutes, PSH speaks volume with just his facial expressions and body language. The man was an absolute genius.

Bob from Total Recall wants to know the secret @ 2:20

Many ask why he resisted the temptation of not paying the winner, the answer is simple: if he doesn't pay using force, who will want to play with him? He's a powerful man, he has armed men, but deep down, he's nothing more than an addict!!

Losing a fortune in a poker game is not the problem, the problem is the winner's smile!

Love that Lewis and klitscho are fighting in the background

Im eating oreos while watching

He never actually did call him. Laying those cards down like that could be consodered a fold.

Terrible bluffing dialogue

Can someone please explain what is going on in this scene, gambling wise, for a person who doesn't understand craps? Thanks!

Fabulous movie. 👍 👍
