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.
