I know that Pacino is a big fan of Shakespeare, so I thought I'd paraphrase old Will there to encapsulate how I felt about this warmed-over assembly of things that any alert audience has seen Al do before. He's one of... Full review

Although I cant go wrong with a movie with Pacino in it, this one lacked the level of intensity of his former films. I felt the movie should have been the hour and a half variety, not the full two hours.... Full review

Al Pacino is a washed-up wannabe mobster. At least that's how his acting makes him seem in Two for the Money. The bad-***ed story is oscar-worthy, about two gambling masters who dont know when to stop. It kicks Johnny Ocean's sunglass-wearing,... Full review

The performances are all compelling, with Pacino in another variation on a theme as the mercurial manipulator, organiser, liar, gambler and all round flamboyant lover of living, on his terms.
SYNOPSIS: When star footballer Brandon Lang (Matthew McConaughey) sustains an injury and is forced out of the game, he turns his insider's knowledge into a new career as a sports betting advisor.
