4.0 out of 5 stars The kid with no ace in the hole, 6 Mar 2009
By Trevor Willsmer (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)      
A troubled picture that saw original director Sam Peckinpah fired in the first week of shooting and original co-star Spencer Tracey bowing out, The Cincinnati Kid sounds like a Western, and in many ways it is, with Edward G. Robinson as the old gun who's never been beat and Steve McQueen the up and coming kid who wants to take him. The only difference is that the weapons of choice are cards instead of bullets and instead of the old West it's set in Depression-era New Orleans. Given his obsessive competition with Paul Newman, it's a fair bet that McQueen probably wanted a Hustler of his own, and if this doesn't quite make the grade it's far more entertaining than any film about people sitting down to play cards has any right to be. Despite McQueen and the impressive supporting cast - Ann Margret, Karl Malden, Tuesday Weld, Rip Torn, Jack Weston and Cab Calloway among them - it's Robinson who walks away with the picture as the unbeaten champion who believes that money is merely a tool rather than the object of the game, displaying just the right combination of dignity and ruthlessness. Great Ray Charles end title song too.

Curiously the DVD has the happier ending shot rather than director Norman Jewison's preferred one that often appears on TV prints. The UK release is also slightly censored to remove illegal shots of animal cruelty in the cockfighting scene

5.0 out of 5 stars Atmospheric and rivetting, 16 Nov 2008
By D. L. George "wilscombe" (Cirencester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It has been at least a couple of decades since I last saw this film and it is just as good as when I saw it last. To my mind the casting is unbeatable and the film is a classic of the first order. To gain a real insight into how the thing was put together I recommend the version with commentary. Of the three possible endings, finishing at the card table gets my vote. If you like McQueen and enjoy a hand of poker this is definitely one for the collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars the big showdown, 10 Jan 2008
A surprisingly good film in its day. The whole film is the build up to the big showdown between the Cincinnati Kid (Steve McQueen) and Lancy Howard (Edward G Robinson), who is 'the man'.

A fairly simple storyline, tells how the 'kid' can barely get a game anywhere in town because almost everybody already owes him money. Then his friend 'shooter' (Carl Malden) starts a rumour that Lancy Howard is in town. There is a fair bit of excitement and tension during the encounter, which is complicated a little by others who have there own interests tied up in the result. There is also the little matter of the other four players who sit down to play in the big game in town.
