I see about one movie a week so very seldom am I surprised by anything new and exciting that I see in motion pictures today everything is a retread or special effects or predictable or I forget about five minutes after I'm done seeing it however tournament is a very unique and special film it's a film that has heart humor in everything you could possibly want out of a film great pacing music directing script story the actors are top notch it starts from a very simple premise of a bunch of friends who make it to a local game store every week to play a card game tournament and they have a championship for a prize once a month the characters are very well written and you will recognize them whether you play card games or not whatever your social circle is you'll notice each character from your own life and need to know nothing about cards games which is secondary to the film- you will see a little bit of yourself in each character-it reminded me a lot of the film 12 angry men where it stayed in one room pretty much and from beginning to end the characters grow tremendously through their own trials and tribulations it's exciting to see where the characters go from the beginning of the film to the end of the film-I've seen the film on multiple viewings and I discover something different about it each time there's many hidden Easter eggs and it's a lot of fun to watch these characters as they will stay with you long after you've left the theater or a viewing of the film-there are people/characters in the film that will remind you of yourself or other people you know in your social settings I look forward to see the next film from this creative and Exciting directing and production and writing ensemble I give this film my highest recommendation and encourage you all to see it 10 out of 10 stars
I saw this at a gaming con with my gaming buddies and enjoyed it. Glad to see it on Amazon Prime now!

I was completely hooked within the first ten minutes of this movie. Skeptical at first, since I am not a gamer, I was pleasantly surprised at how much this movie appealed to myself, my husband and our two teenage children. It had everything you want in a movie - competition (hence the name), humor and even a little romance. The actors were amazing, very entertaining - left me wanting more.
Highly recommend this movie to all, gamer or not - it's a must see!!!
I have watched this film more than once and really enjoyed the characters. And their witty sense of humor. If you are a gamer or not, you will enjoy this film.
This is a movie about board games. That being said it is not that attractive to everyone a like a action movie or a superhero movie.
But, again, you do not need to know everything about board game to appreciate this movie. It is just humor conversations and great performance.
The dialog writing and casting plus acting is really cool. Such variety choices of characters. And they are standing out. I keep laughing while watching it the whole time.
This is good story telling.
