Interesting for Sports Fans

Rating: 5/10 (24 October 2005)

Well, I saw this movie yesterday, and although I wasn't disappointed, I wasn't terribly thrilled, either. I imagine it would be different for someone who was really into sports, sports gambling, or maybe was a compulsive gambler himself. For me, the relationships were interesting, and Al Pacino certainly chewed the scenery in his role as a kingpin sports prognosticator. I would say that he was over-the top except that I know actual people from New York who are really like that. Matthew McConaughy (sp?) was as good as I have seen him and very nice to look at in his fitness workout scenes. I would recommend the picture for beefcake fans, but there really wasn't enough to make a meal of. Not my type of picture, but I only paid $2 so what the hay.
