Molly's Game.

Too much of content and too much of parallel sub-plots playing on track is smart as it lets the audience work it out but it also may come off as a hoax which the makers have taken care off but it still seems like too much complicated to invest your chips in (probably the same mistake as Martin did on Casino). Molly's Game seems like a throwback to Martin Scorcese's flicks like The Wolf Of The Wall Street and Casino and just as DiCaprio and De Niro walks us through the whole movie so does Chastain too and yes, just like those flicks it had a similar trajectory in which it won't surprise you; bummer and that too for more than 2 hours. Aaron Sorkin's first directorial is definitely plausible but his bluff can be foreseen miles away which makes it all redundant. Jessica is in her A game and with a good supporting cast like Elba, the ride is quite safe in their hands. But in the end, what Molly's Game lacks in offering is appropriate editing, perpetual drama and a better or justified climax.
