    2 for the money

    Key players:

    Renee Russo, Matthew McConagahey(sp), and Al Pacino.

    Matthew plays a former college qb who hurt his leg and can't play in the pros let alone the arena league. He decides to start working a 900 line to pay the bills. After a lucky break, he starts picking pro football games and giving tips only to be noticed by Al Pacino who runs a sports betting advise group. He makes him change his identity and all of a sudden he's a superstar in the betting world.

    About 1/2 way thru the movie starts it's downhill slide and finally bottoms out in a predicable ending.

    Worth a rent and not much else.

    I give it a solid 2 out of 5.

    You just saved me some money, Shane. I was thinking about buying this when it became a previously viewed disc at Blockbuster, but now I will just rent it instead.

    What's wrong with those Hollywood scripters today ? They start out well in the first act and fall apart in the final.
