keithluken Excellent story and well acted. Was a little dry at times and could have been a tad shorter.

arjunflamingfeather 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'.

Lythas_85 I had high hopes for this flick cause I'd heard a lot about the book and the plot. However, there wasn't too much focus on her setting up the games.. and even less on the players so they're unremarkable and you couldn't care less about them.Of course, since the movie is recent, we MUST have some misandric exchanges, right? Molly is having an argument with Matt Serra's character and he calls her on her BS.. and she does what most women do these days: tell the guy what to do. So he leaves and basically dismantles her game. She get depressed blames the misogynistic man.. oh poor girl. Later on, when she's meeting 2 blokes at the 4 seasons, she needs to make some condescending remarks.. of course, had it been reversed, the harpies would flip if a man were to be making misogynstic comments.. oh well..Let's not forget the annoying narration. Oh boy, it hindered the pace and it was unnecessary. And last but no least.. Jessica Chastain's cleavage. I think there were only a couple of scenes where she wasn't showing the twins. Guess they should've received top billing for such screen time.

mattkratz A drawback to this movie:it kind of drags with the dialogue and some of the scenes. Other than that, this is a good movie based on the book written by Molly Bloom about her gambling establishments after her skiing career is ended by a horrendous accident. It also talks about growing up with her strict father. I loved the gambling scenes and Chastain's performance as Molly. The scenes between her and the lawyer were first rate, and you also got to learn about some of the people who participated in her games. This was a good movie from start to finish with excellent performances.** 1/2 out of ****
