Watched the film. Gotta say it's terrible and does the man no justice. Way to many cliches from gangster films and the kid who played young Stu was annoying.My favourite poker player of all time (but I'm only 22) and not old enough to remember the other greats and don't care much for Phil "Big Mouth" Hellmuth. I've read some messages saying that Stu's bad points are always mentioned i.e. his addiction but this is the case for all major athletes/actors/whatever that have gone off the rails. Here in the UK, we have George Best and Paul Gascoigne who are probably the the most talented British soccer players of all time - there isn't an article that does not mention their problems with alcohol. I think that it SHOULD be mentioned, as an example, but it also makes the people seem more human and likeable (Best and Gazza are immensely popular here). That's my view anyway.
