Molly's Game

This is not a sneak preview. This film has already released.

Molly Bloom (Jessica Chastain) was a US Olympic ski contender when a freak incident threw her off course from her athletic & career goals. See how she became known as the "poker princess" hosting elite high-rollers underground gambling games in L.A. & New York City for celebrities & the rich until the FBI makes a Russian mafia connection & shuts her down. Chastain turns in another outstanding performance, this time, as a smart fascinating character trying to do the right thing while balancing her life on the edge of danger. Idris Elba plays her attorney & Kevin Costner plays her hard driving father raising a family of over-achievers. Director/writer Aaron Sorkin has turned a true story into a compelling human interest biopic involving addiction. 

Alien gives it 3½ "poker jargon" stars out of 4.
