Review of Molly's Game (2017) by Ledaumas — 31 Dec 2017
This movie has a great plot line with a lot of interesting sub-plots. Excellent performances by Chastain and Elba. But what's really amazing about the movie is the dialogue. When you go see a film written by Aaron Sorkin, you need to pay attention or you will miss something.
The other good thing about Sorkin's screenplays is that he explains things. In this case, Sorkin also directed and he did a marvelous job! I never thought Michael Cena could play a bad guy well as he does in this movie.
I'm now so disappointed in the real life actor that Michael Cena's character represents, who seemed like such a nice guy...until now. That actor deserves being exposed like this. The other LA actors that were named elsewhere came off really well.
Most (except for the Michael Cena character) were a bunch of LA actors who needed extra stimulation that their excessive money had given them, and they seemed to play fair. Unfortunately, once the game moves from Los Angeles to New York, the players are much more dangerous and the game changes completely.
