4.0 out of 5 stars Guilty Pleasure!, July 31, 2005

So I picked up this DVD set at Walmart because I love Eddie Cibrian, enjoy solid drama and thought series looked interesting from the packaging. Not having seen Rounders- the constant referral to it by the producers in the behind the scenes shots meant little. I watched this through in 3 sittings and was thoroughly entertained. Madsen as The Matador is chilling- his gravelly voice is full of such menace you wonder why everyone around him isn't in constant fear.....the three young poker players do an admirable job of pulling themselves together and through difficulties to bring down their nemesis. Lots of subplots all culminate in some tricky crime drama worthy of Tony Soprano.
Series is written by veteran mystery/crime writer Lawrence Block. His direct verbal style translates well to the Vegas poker scene. What I really liked here was the showing of the gambling world as a not too pretty place- lots of glitz on the surface but murky depths that few care to dwell in. Don McManus as Lowball is such slime- a bottom dweller unable to give up power and the game as head of the Colorado casino where the action in Tilt takes place.

Stylish, fun- full of pretty boys and girls but not too much t&a- this is a guilty pleasure I look forward to seeing more of!

5.0 out of 5 stars When you lose...you win, June 8, 2005

Unlike the world of tilt, you can lose...BY NOT BUYING TILT ASAP. Argueably the finest show of our generation, the first season of tilt features groundbreaking performances from Michael Madsen and Chris Bauer. Bauer's performance as Lee Nickel is especially powerful as he brings Nickel not only to life, but after watching the show you will feel his presence as a wraith haunting your dreams...Its that powerful. Madsen continues his domination of American film by starring in this epic series, as the Don Corleone of the Tilt world to Bauer's Michael Corleone.

With that flood of hyperbole aside, there may be no finer way to celebrate this fathers day, and any other day for that matter by watching, nay, experiencing, tilt in its deterreform glory.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb TV show! Should have gotten a second season., May 7, 2007

I can't figure out why this show got cancelled after it's 9 episode first season. My best guess is that ESPN is not where people will turn to for dramatic television, no matter how fantastic it is. Tilt may have done better on another channel. Regardless, this is a great show, and a great DVD set to own. The story is fast paced. By that I mean as much happens in these nine episodes as you would find in another show's regular twenty plus episode season. The cast is nice all around, but it is undeniably Michael Madsen's performance as the show's "villian" that steals the show. If you like well written drama, or if you've been in any way caught up in the poker craze that's caught on these past few years, you won't want to miss this DVD set.
