Review of Molly's Game (2017) by Chris L — 02 Jan 2018
Being an avid poker fan is what initially got my attention to go and see this movie because I had heard about this story and seen some excerpts from the actual book. Not knowing the story in detail I came in with low expectations because poker movies generally come off cheesy.
This movie is not your typical poker movie. Yes there are a few poker scenes which depict the game in a realistic way. However, Sorkin focused on the real story in detail and the movie was fantastic. It sheds light on the game of poker in a way that has never been done before.
Molly Bloom has interesting story that needed to be told and this movie gives it justice for the viewer who wants to skip a book. Definitely recommend this movie for all and not just fans of a poker game.
Chastain and Elba were phenomenal in this film.
