Review of Molly's Game (2017) by Dc127 — 21 May 2018

I don't know how this movie is getting such high reviews. It is well acted but . . . well it is a terrible story. Molly Bloom is a self centered, terrible human being. She profits off of gambling addicts, does drugs, and is a criminal.

Her whole redeeming point is that she doesn't beat up people that owe her money. That is it. I going to guess that most of the positive reviews are only because Jessica Chastain is the lead . Kevin Costner also has a memorable turn in the film as Bloom's dad.

Idris Elba also does a bang up job. Still, neither my wife or I cared what happened to Molly. Chastain has an issue that she comes off smarmy and as a know it all in every scene. I wanted her to go to jail.
