Editorial Review: Description: Based on a true story, Michael Imperioli stars as poker legend, Stu Ungar. A gambler by the age of 10, Ungar won millions playing card games. He was one of two people ever to win the World Series of Poker three times - twice before age 26. But, in spite of his success, a life of excess and addiction left him in tremendous debt and could only end in tragedy. DVD Features: Audio Commentary:Feature-length commentary with Michael Imperioli, director A.W. Vidmer and poker expert Vince Van Patten Music Video:Music video "Yesterday" by Marc Eric Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Read the book.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. Rating: - High RollerThis 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. Rating:  - Brief But The TruthHi, 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. Rating:  - High Roller The Stu Ungar StoryThis 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. Rating: - No where near as good as I hopedAfter 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.
