Not as good as Casino, but worth watching for Chastain's Molly

Rating: 7/10 (12 April 2018)

4/11/18. This was a pretty good docudrama based on Molly's memoir. Though not as good a Casino (the movie to beat about gambling), it was entertaining as Molly does the voice over narrating what was happening. That was helpful to follow what was going on. Chastain was really good a Molly, a smart woman who had daddy issues, all the while trying to prove she was worthy of her father's love. What I found a bit unbelievable is that she managed to go it alone for so long before she started making bad decisions and getting involved with the Russian mob. Nevertheless, a cautionary tale that the house always wins. Elba was really good as the lawyer to takes on her case.
