Pretty damn good. Directed and written by Aaron Sorkin.

And holy shit. Jessica Chastain is fucking gorgeous.

She should've stayed in LA.

[SPOILER]

Btw the mob and FBI, she's lucky she didn't end up dead or in prison. She lucked out with probation and a hefty fine/seizure of all her assets.

We Redbox'd it a couple weeks ago.
I liked it a lot, and it wasn't as wordy and preachy as I expected from Sorkin.
Chastain is one of those rarified air kind of people. She is as gorgeous as she is a great actor.
Idris Elba is also very good in this movie.
I'm surprised it didn't do better box office seeing how it came out at Christmas, but oh well.
It is totally worth a rental, and might be worth buying if the Blu-ray xtras are any good.
Spoiler......





















Michael Cera is TOTALLY Tobey McGuire in this movie. Could be why Tobey doesn't get much work these days.

Movie was great. I’ll have to pick up the book sometime down the line. Guys like Dicaprio, A-Rod, Affleck, and yes Toby — who is a huge douche.

You guys are nuts with the Chastain love. They dolled her up as much as possible in this movie and rarely shot her below the chest (which was enhanced with all the spanx and push ups they could find). Average to below average. But don't believe stupid old dolphin. Believe the movie exec who told her the same thing when she was young.

I liked the movie. There was so much there, but I felt they could have done an even better job. If I recall there was a lot of narration, and I am not sure how much I liked the dialogue in the lawyer's office. Part of it is that I like stories about high stakes poker, and there wasn't a ton of time on the actual games.

I guess we just disagree on the aesthetic.
