Two for the Money: Two for the Garbage

This was supposed to be a movie about high-stakes gambling and the excitement of picking the right games and making a lot of money. It's actually crap. It does a terrible job of talking about sports gambling. Matty's character is exciting for a few moments, but then they turn him into a fraud, which totally ruins the movie. They attempt to explore parts of Russo's and Pacino's relationship that goes nowhere. What's really stupid is how they act like the world would end when they go 2-12 picking games on a weekend. The whole premise is that they get portions of all the bets placed, so why would a losing weekend effect them so badly? Why would nobody do 10 team parlays when Matty's character is going 10-2 all the fucking time? It's ridiculous that despite being hotter than the sun at picking games he doesn't actually bet himself. I got pissed off watching this at home dumb everyone was. Bottom Line: 4.1 out of 10. Crap that's not fit to watch at any time on any media outlet.
