Not great

Rating: 6/10 (5 April 2020)

I never read the book so I'm not sure how true the movie remains to it source material. I do know that if the portrayal of molly is accurate but if it is it's no wonder she became a drug addicted loner. She comes across as a know it all egomaniac with a terrible personality. This makes it hard to root for her, and I was actually awaiting her demise gleefully. There's no denying her smarts, and the way she ran her enterprise was a testament to that. Other then my hatred of the main character, the movie had some entertaining parts and characters. I actually enjoyed micheal cera's role as "player x". And whose to say it wasn't actually him, as implausible as many find that to be. (although I have a hunch it may have been Tobey Maguire, whose a known card player). Also the brutal scene between molly and the mob henchman was well done. Overall it's a decent watch, but nothing to write home about.
