A tale full of sound and fury, signifying nothing much...

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

Don't expect to learn anything. Don't expect to feel anything. No one in this film has any heart. They are all stupid, greedy, obsessed anal neurotics. The acting is great and its interesting to see what the gambling world is all... Full review

Man, I hope these reviews people are giving this movie as being excellent and good aren't a reflection of those who rule this nation. This movie was terrible. Lousy plot. Stupid acting. No wonder our nation is collapsing with movies being... 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
Oscar-worthy story, gutter-worthy acting

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

I thought this movie was going to be about Al and Mathew going head to head to see which elite bookie would take the house. Instead it was Mathew picking some winners for the first 30 minuets. The rest of the... Full review

Pacino and Matthew Mc have fake hair

It was pretty obvious that both Al Pacino and Matthew McCounoughey (sp?) both have had Hair Club for Men action going on in this movie. Pacino had less hair 20 years ago than he does now. Every movie he seems to... Full review

I didn't expect to like this movie because I thought it would glamorize gambling, but I loved the complexity of the characters and the fact that it showed both the allure and destructive power of the world's bling. I also appreciated... 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. ...
