Don't write a movie about a subject matter you don't get

Rating: 2/10 (22 January 2018)

When you write about a subject matter, you should at a minimum know what you are talking about.
Overall the movie feels rushed for the sake of pleasing people with ADR. A couple of examples of why Sorkin, who is supposed to be one of the best writers, didn't do a good job here.
Anyone that has played poker for a little bit will know if they have the nuts. Don't tell us they have the nuts and then pretend we should believe they would fold when within one minute you tell us they don't like to fold.
Makes no sense. Also, don't have a high-level sophisticated lawyer not know what in propria persona means. (it means as your own person and refers to people that appear WITHOUT a lawyer.) You want us to believe he didn't know that but that Molly knew?
Then lawyers and defendants don't sit with the public in court. They are within the bar, and why was she not in custody like the other defendants?
Then there were just situations that were not believable. It's just written like a bad courtroom drama, all situations that would never happen.
Just a lot of repartee, which unfortunately makes me aware of the writing, not emerging in the movie. And then the constant sidetracked with nonsensical stories.
