'Two for the Money'
I just have to say I thought Two for the Money was ok. The movie is well worth the admission price. I won't say it's a masterpiece.
After suffering a career-ending injury, a former college football star (McConaughey) aligns himself with one of the most renown bookies (Pacino) in the sports-gambling business. That's the main story line of the movie.
D.J. Caruso's direction was pretty amusing. I think Al Pacino delivered a fine performance.
Worth seeing, anyway.

busy. No time to post, haven't even looked at the blog in a while. I have felt
tired all day. My apologies, but I hope you can understand that other work does take priority
