SYNOPSIS
Based upon the memoir Molly's Game: From Hollywood's Elite to Wall Street's Billionaire Boys Club, My High-Stakes Adventure in the World of Underground Poker by Molly Bloom.
This is the true story of Molly Bloom, an Olympic-class skier who ran the world's most exclusive high-stakes poker game and how she became an FBI target.
REVIEW SUMMARY
"Molly's Game is a cinematic royal flush. The chemistry is VERY strong between Chastain and Elba. And while the story itself is fascinating alone, Sorkin's script is excellently written (and delivered). Nobody can write dialogue like Aaron Sorkin. Go all in for this one."
