 An ace in the hole, suitable for most any audience June 14, 2004

Superior acting from an all-star cast would alone make this one a winner. Add a novel story line with continual twists and turns, nonstop action, and glimpses into human nature elicited through a big stakes poker game, and you end up with one of the best westerns ever filmed. The only negative surprise is how few people -- even movie buffs -- know about this one. The industry should make it available in DVD, but the VHS sound and picture quality are as close to DVD as anything I've seen.

(...) For most films that have a surprise ending, the very fact of revealing that there is a surprise is enough to greatly weaken its impact.That said... this is one of only two Westerns in my collection (the other being "Blazing Saddles"). Superbly written, acted, and directed, "A Big Hand..." is one of my all-time favorite films. Absolutely first rate. Let's have a DVD, Warner!

There comes a time when you need a no-fail movie. The kind of movie to pull out that no one has seen, that grandma and the kids will like and still keep you on the edge of your seat. This is that movie. It never fails to entertain and delight everyone in the family. Even after seeing it a few times, the story gets better and better. I've shown it to family and friends on Thanksgiving and was the hit of the day.
Liked this movie until the ending, at which point I loved it March 16, 1999

Mix the Old West, poker, true love, and the wit and wisdom of gritty cowhands and ranchers, stir into it a plot twist or two, season with old stars and future stars, and you have one fine-tastin' flick! For dessert, there's a neat, sweet, upbeat ending, too!
