Directed by Arron Sorkin, Molly’s Game follows Molly Brown, played by Jessica Chastain, a true story of a beautiful, young, Olympic-class skier who ran the world’s most exclusive high-stakes poker game for a decade before being arrested in the middle of the night by 17 FBI agents wielding automatic weapons.
Her players included Hollywood royalty, sports stars, business giants and finally, unbeknown to her, the Russian mob. Her only ally was her criminal defense lawyer, Charlie Jaffey, played by Idris Elba, who learned there was much more to Molly than the tabloids led people to believe.
Kevin Costner plays Larry Brown, Molly’s father, and Graham Greene plays Judge Foxman with other talented actors like Michael Cera, Jeremy Strong, Chris O’Dowd and Bill Camp.
The Blu-ray and DVD are on the streets. The movie streams on the Internet. Now is the time to see the film if you have not seen it. Chastain takes on the role of Molly Brown as if there is no tomorrow with an Oscar-nominated script by the movie’s director, Arron Sorkin. You just can’t get better than that.
The trailers show a great movie about a story that will unravel and bring to light the true meaning of honesty and being true to oneself.
