Sadly Over-hyped
It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
The story-telling is good with flashbacks.The film is both funny and heartbreaking. You smile in a scene and get a soulcrushing revelation in the next.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
I just finished watching this movie and was amazed. I recently told a friend I don't think Hollywood could make a good movie anymore with the PC/SJW culture ruining everything that's good in America today. This movie has proven me wrong. What a wonderful movie!The acting was fabulous and well cast. Loved the Actress who played Molly of course but Costner was great too.If you have a chance and haven't seen a good movie lately, you should give this one a view. Well worth the time!
True movie that missed an oscar. JESSICA CHASTAIN who often takes on nudity; does well to be attractive to the senses. Senses like the visuals that repeat her boldness are stimulating like her other roles like in ' SALOME'. The watching world audience are subject to adult content from her directors who are talented. Documenting this movie and pleasing us immensely for the courage that goes with crew and casts is advertising the movie. The movie is strong and JESSICA CHASTAIN missed here an 'oscar'. TWO thousand and seventeen winner is an actress from 'LIFE'.
Didnt know what to expect but sure glad we watched it. LOVED IT
When I heard of a poker story with more than 7/10 on imdb, I had to check it out. Most poker movies are inaccurate and overdramatized with no clue as to how the game is really played.Guess what. This movie is no different.First, I cracked up laughing at Molly cracking up her spine at the ski slope.My first facepalm came when Molly was talking about a guy folding the "mathematically the best hand, which in poker is called the nuts". For those of you who don't know, the "nuts" means the best possible combination of cards currently on the table. It's not the "mathematically best hand", it is absolutely the best hand possible according to the rules of the game. If you've ever watched a few minutes of ESPN poker since 1998, you would know this. If you're writing a movie about poker, is it really acceptable to have this level of incompetence regarding the game itself?I guess Aaron Sorkin doesn't play poker, or simply doesn't care. At this point I was ready to stop watching, but Idris Elba's character kept me engaged for a while longer.Speaking of Idris Elba, let's talk about character motivation. The movie starts with Molly getting arrested. Then suddenly she's heading into Idris Elba's office, who doesn't want to help her, but then does. Why? Why is Idris Elba's daughter in his office? We don't know but Elba draws a triangle on a flatboard with Molly's name in the middle, so that proves something.Then we learn your laptop takes backups of your text messages when you hook your phone up. I had to watch that part twice to check if I heard that correctly, but I guess these people live in a world where technology is magic and that sort of stuff happens.Then we have a supposed poker pro completely going on manic life-tilt after losing ONE hand. Dramatic purposes surely, but a rational human being does not act that way, much less a poker pro.When the one lady started collecting rake in the middle of a hand with illegal bet sizings, I stopped watching.Boring overdramatized garbage. Go watch "Rounders" or that one Eric Bana-flick if you want a poker movie. They're not great, but at least you can watch without rolling your eyes.
