Molly's Game

Rating: 7/10 (25 May 2020)

Molly's game covers Molly Blooms life, primarily her experiences within this 'Hollywood Poker Underworld'. The movie is engaging and had me interested for most of its run time, thanks to it's talented cast and wonderful directing.
Molly's game thrives during the scenes where poker is involved, showing us the slick and intelligent nature of Molly as she begins to climb the ranks and soon runs a game of her own (hence the title). But between the genius hints towards Molly's talents and struggles, the movie begins to ham fist some extra stories which felt almost intentionally placed there solely to increase the run time of this film, as they either stagger the pace of this film or could have simply not changed the film if they were not included at all.
All though not amazing, Molly's Game is a fun and enjoyable film which engages its viewers through its colours, characters and story.
