 Read the book. October 26, 2008
This movie lacks any depth of detail and fails to give any feeling for who Stu Unger was. The book, One Of A Kind, is excellent.

This was suppose to be the Stu Ungar story, but they got EVERYTHING wrong. The only relation to Stu's real life and the movie is the name of the character. They got all the supporting characters wrong. They got events wrong. They left out tons of important details. This movie is a waste of money.
 Brief But The Truth June 30, 2008
Hi,
I brought this product as I wanted to know more about how Stu Ungar rose and fell again. However the DVD itself it's very depressing as it only covers his drug abuse and his huge loses on the sports book. All in all if you want to know about Stu's life by the book one of a kind, I'm half way through and it's very detailed.
 High Roller The Stu Ungar Story February 26, 2008
This movie is AWESOME!!! Whether you enjoy poker or are just a fan of life stories, this is portayed well. Stu was a phenomenal poker player who left a great impact on the game. When you play blackjack at a casino and they use a minimum of 3 decks you know? That is from this man and his great talents and smarts for gambling. Thank him? Maybe not for that aspect, but definately appreciate what he has done for the game. GREAT MOVIE!!!! One of my favorites.
No where near as good as I hoped September 16, 2006

After reading One Of A Kind, this movie gave no justice to the life of Stu Ungar. So many important parts of his life were left out and or mushed together in different scenes. I was really hoping the movie would be as good as the book, but I was highly disappointed.
