Not bad ... but not great

A Customer from Northampton, England, 10th March, 2006

Saw this on a flight to Malaysia. This average drama has a good performance from Pacino but it is his usual bulstering larger than life characterisation we have seen in many of his films. He won't be winning any wards for this movie. I usually like Matthew Mc but in this film he seems to be going through the motions. Plot was average, not much excitement. The script and exchanges between characters were ok. Not really much else to say about this average film.

worth a gamble.

robin williams from wales, 13th February, 2007

Just finished watching this film and really enjoyed it.The two main characters of the film ,Al pacino and Mathew Mconaughey had a real chemistry thing going on , and at times had the hairs on my neck standing up! If you're a gambler you're gonna love this movie,having said that this film has enough going for it to entice anybody.well worth a look.

~The Al can do no wrong =]

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.

Popcorn

The Sherrif of Nottingham from Staffordshire, England, 25th August, 2006

It was enjoyable, watchable fun while it lasted. A few weeks later and I can't really remember any individual scenes but I know I liked it while it was on. Worth it for one viewing.

Keeley Andrews from Wickford, Essex, 23rd July, 2008

This film was absolutely terrible. I have only given one star and that is purely for Matthew McConnaughy working out in the film with no top on!! I really did not see the point of this film, unless you are American, enjoy College football and understand gambling then there is no point watching it. Al Pacino was just a sad character who I had no sympathy with. I am afraid I would not recommend this film to anybody!!

Just generally a very good film.

A Customer from Guildford, 2nd July, 2008

Al is a legend. There are some funny lines, but otherwise a more serious film.

Niley from from Pinner, 30th April, 2008

Based on a true story, this is a decent, no camera tricks/CGI film, that sucks you in the more you watch it. Has a good twist and moral at the end. 8/10 rating. Well worth the watch.
