I bet that most people who watch this movie actively dislike it. Act now and I'll give you a five point spread. |
A trio of big name stars have taken a gamble on D.J. Caruso's next project. Matthew McConaughey, Al Pacino and Rene Russo headline the cast of this $20 million drama about the high stakes world of professional gambling.
McConaughey plays an All-Pro football player who shreds his knee, thereby ending his career. Think Johnny Utah from Point Break. Seeking a new vocation, he finds himself drawn to the illicit underbelly of world of athletics. He becomes a sports bookie. Think Art Schlicter from Ohio State.
During his early days in the professional, the ex-athlete is introduced to a tycoon (Pacino) who runs a high profile, high stakes gambling enterprise. And he wants the kid to come play for him. Russo portrays the wife of Pacino. (David Mumpower/BOP)
