Two for the Money (2005)


Brandon Lang loves football: an injury keeps him from the pros, but his quarterback's anticipation makes him a brilliant predictor of games' outcomes. Needing money, he leaves Vegas for Manhattan to work for Walter Abrams advising gamblers. Walter has a doting wife, a young daughter, and a thriving business, but he has problems: a bum heart, a belief he's a master manipulator, and addictions barely kept in check. He remakes Brandon, and a father-son relationship grows. Then, things go awry. Walter may be running a con. The odds against Brandon mount.

*這個卡司是絕對要看的片子,Al Pacino的演技就不用多提了,我非常喜歡他的講話方式,很具有說服力,總讓人無從反駁;Matthew McConaughey實在是帥,身材棒,演起戲來,挺逗趣的?最近一部Failure to Launch (2006)可是必看的溫馨搞笑浪漫愛情喜劇~
*電影一開始,Al Pacino的搶人方式,讓我直接想到The Recruit (2003),更巧的是: Al Pacino在這兩部片子的first name都是Walter~
*Walter Abrams: Know what you know, and know what you don't know. And know that I gotta know everything you know as soon as you know it... or sooner.
*Walter Abrams: There's no such thing as too far. You understand? You push everything as far as you can. You push and you push and you push until it starts pushing back. And then you push some goddamn more. Remember that when you're with this guy today.
*Walter Abrams: Stats are not enough, you need a voice! These are gamblers ready to risk what they can't afford for what they can't have, you're selling the world's rarest commodity: certainty, in an uncertain world.
