Sunday afternoon easy watching

Rating: 6/10 (1 October 2014)

I am not a massive sports or sports movie fan. But then this film is more about gambling, ambition and greed.
The main character is sucked in to a new and exciting world by Al Pacino's character who takes eccentric to new levels.
The film is fairly slow and the plot flows along fairly gently, which is just as well because there really isn't a lot of substance to it.
The characters are engaging and just enough happens to keep you interested.
The majority of the film centres around the affect of success and the motivations that drive the successful on.
This is good for an idle Sunday afternoon. Good performances and production but nothing special going on and no fireworks.
