Best movie of this year hands down!
... View MoreThe greatest movie ever made..!
... View MoreI think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreIt is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
... View MoreMolly's Game has interesting content, has a good cast who act well in it, but the story is fairly thin and told in a way that is numbing. The re-telling narration never stops for 2 plus hours, so there isn't room think about things and almost nothing happens in the present active time. Michael Cera's character Player X is suppose to be the best player, but they show this by saying someone is laying down the nuts to him because he is talking, that doesn't make him good, that just makes that player bad. Hell you don't even have to listen to someone, you can have headphones on. Molly as a main character is very distant and not easy to connect with, but the film held my interest.
... View MoreI 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!
... View MoreIf you know know Aaron Sorkin, you'd know he wrote this early on. I normally love the cadence of his words and the smart as all get out word play. I never thought it would work to the detriment of his work, but in Molly's Game it did. I kept getting the feeling that he just saw 'Goodfella's' and wanted to duplicate it. His failing was in trying to outdo it. The Pithy Banter of the narration, one of the most fun parts of Goodfella's was so overdone here that I had to stop the DVD in mid-play to write this. Mr. Sorkin is an unrivaled talent, and I will always give his work deference, but in this case I think he needs to reel it back. This film presses the 'Enough Already' but about halfway in and I'm a little saddened that I didn't want to watch it further.
... View MoreJessica Chastain at her Best! But, what else can we expect from this fine, focused, incredibly talented and alluring young woman? One gets the idea she's read the script one hundred times before ever stepping foot on set. She is more than prepared, she is more than expected, the long and the short of it is, she is a delight to watch in action! She always leaves me yelling "Brava" and "Encore" at the ending credits! And then you want to pair her with the incomparable Idris Elba? Bamm! I could watch him make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches while reading the local city ordinances and be entertained. And by that I'm not saying he's just eye candy; oh no! I'm saying he has the ability to make anything interesting! He dominates a scene in this movie where he pleads his case to procecutors with such conviction and passion you'd swear you see the blood dripping from his brow. I've been a huge fan for a long time and am always guaranteed a good watch whenever he stars in a project. The movie itself is amazing! Something that only happens in real life. Like the saying goes, "You can't make this crap up"! There's a lot to learn in this film, not the least of which is the lengths the Gov't will go to to get what it wants - justice be damned! I highly recommend this movie, and both the lead stars performances. Enjoy!
