Molly’s Game has some great acting from Jessica Chastain, Idris Elba and even Kevin Costner playing the typical father character in the few scenes he shows up in. The poker scenes are put together extremely well and as someone who knows nothing about poker, it was rather captivating. However, the film switches from present-day to flashbacks as lots of characters are introduced in quick succession and I can’t think of a single one after the film finished (I think Steve from Stranger Things and Michael Cera were in there somewhere?), and the film begins to show its length as the 3rd act kicks in.
It’s a good film with a great story being told (and a great directorial debut by Aaron Sorkin) but it’s not necessary a royal flush across the board.
