Surprisingly not as predictable a film as you would expect it to be based on it's face value alone. If you're thinking it's along the same kind of lines as Jerry 'show me the money' Maguire, you'd be very much mistaken. Which can only be a good thing. =] In my eyes a film with (the legendary) Al Pacino, Mr 'abs of steel' McConaughey and Rene Russo has to, by forfeit alone, if anything, be a winner. Which is why I added it to my rental list. I was surprised at how much depth was achieved on such a, typically, superficial subject. Sports. Specifically:- sports gambling. Riviting stuff, no? But all that aside, you end up caring about the characters. Caring about whether the New York Giants win or loose. Caring that, in the end, everything ends up ok. Definitely a rollercoaster ride of a film; with more downs then there are ups.
