Country: US/CHI
Technical: col/2.39:1 140m
Director: Aaron Sorkin
Cast: Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba, Kevin Costner
Synopsis:
A ski champion emerges from injury and failure at the Olympic trials to spend a decade running the most lucrative poker games on both the West and East coasts.
Review:
Densely written drama, based on a bestseller and distinguished by an authoritative central performance. Some knowledge of poker rules is useful, if not essential, but this is smart Hollywood entertainment in the tradition of The Hustler.
