I always liked the guy, but in Shade he looks very different from his typical image, and even though the role is short, it brings interest to the screen.
The movie itself is also a rather enjoyable caper film, probably not the best you have seen, but nonetheless very entertaining and not badly put together - definitely recommended as an idle time plug.
Follow Ups:
...one night a few weeks ago when my wife was out.
It was surprisingly entertaining - if you don't mind lot of fights, shooting and explosions without much plot to get in the way.
He's had some face work done but doesn't seem to take himself as seriously as when he was younger.
charming, self-deprecating (I never pretend I know how to box off the set), very humorous, gracious to his fans. Sly apparently never forgot where he came from.
Many years ago I worked for a photographer who photographed many celebrities. I met Sly while on a publicity photo shoot in LA for a movie he did with John Travolta. Sly was very down to earth and gracious, as was John who I had worked with before. In my experience working with many celebrities, the real A list types were always the nicest, whereas some of the B and C list types who eventually had careers that flamed out were real jerks. And they wonder why...
...his radio interview on a local talk station about 10 years ago where he went ballistic over a caller's comment about the "squirrel on his head" is a local legend.
A law school class of mine was a police officer in Florida, and was hired as private security to follow Burt Reynolds around during homecoming at Florida State. He told me this story. Ricardo Montalban and Dom Deluise were with them. Burt Reynolds got access to the Florida State stadium (you know he was a quarterback there) to go onto the field and throw footballs. Ol' Burt was apparently trying to impress Montalban and Deluise.
Florida was very hot, as some well know. Apparently, Reynolds had make up caked on his face which melted in the Florida heat. Makeup was running down his face. Then, to top it all off, Burt was throwing a football around, and Montalban turned to my classmate, who was standing next to Montalban, and told him "What an asshole."
he was a halfback

Look at it...it's funny...
Baba-Booey to you all!
Of all of the stars that go to Laker games he is by far the most gracious. When fans yell out his name as he's walking to his court side seat he will stop and wave etc. Most of the other stars just ignore it. I've never met or talked to him but he seems like a nice guy.

Thanks for mentioning it! It's a very cool film and a great gifter/card shark movie. It was nicely cast, filmed and paced. The end switch was not really necessary to me and was almost anticlimactic. I rate this movie as one of the best of its type. Highly entertaining and enjoyable!
Stallone looked extremely well kept. He fit naturally into the part and really brought the presence and gravitas ideal for the role.
As a side note, the inside slingo was so slick that the exact definitions of the technical terms were often beyond me. I assumed that "dealing deuces" was dealing seconds and understood a number of others, but so many mechanic words were spit out that many escaped me.
Agree on the ending, one could have done it many different ways, but the book was written by then and its exact nature was hardly important. Everyone was leaving the scene...The cast was dynamic and diverse, with great cameo by Patrick Bauchau. As far as the terminology - I don't play poker, so I missed much of it, but the gist was easy to get.
Overall - great light film that sparkles dimly.

There he was really natural.
Cīmon guys this one is really not the one to be praised for his acting. Now we his face lift he look like an old mummy.
The revenge of the MUMmy.
You canīt be serious.

Rocky is a classic and Stallone is a great star. Credit to him for honestly talking about taking HGH. He's in rather amazing shape for his age.
It made me wonder what he could have done in the hands of a great director in other ensemble films. Too bad really.
Baba-Booey to you all!
