Ever gone to a poker night with the guys at someones kitchen table where the buy in is between $25-$50? You plan for 3-4 hours up and down deciding the players who are lucky and the ones who really know how to play the game. Then there are the ones who just pretend, and typically they are the most dangerous because they have no idea what position they are in most of the time. That player is me BTW. Well now take that example and throw in a minimum buy in of $50k! Now its time for excitement, and this movie gives you all the excitement you can handle! This is a docu-drama style film that celebrates the narrative of greats like Goodfellas, I Tonya, and The Social Network. Based on the true story of Molly Bloom, an elite Olympic skier with hopes of getting the gold only to injure herself on the slope and finding her way into a Hollywood elite, high stakes poker game. Not a player, but a co-host. At this, her genius mind takes her to the top with her own game hosting high stakes and creating an underground "everything" game. this comes to a fall when she is arrested by the Fed's and has to deal with the courts to fight for her freedom. This has everything you need for an outstanding movie. It is completely addictive and will keep you on the edge of your seat the entire time!
FYI: Molly Bloom claims she witnessed $100 Million lost in a single card game
