gaming the system takes some guts

Rating: 9/10 (13 July 2018)

I had never heard of Molly Bloom before seeing "Molly's Game", but I have to say that it's an impressive story. In a way, you have to admire what Bloom was able to pull off. Ethically questionable, sure, but as the judge noted, the Wall Street types commit far worse crimes.
Jessica Chastain puts in a fine performance, with good support from Idris Elba as her lawyer. Having seen this movie, I expect continued good output from Aaron Sorkin. I recommend it.
