Two for the Money

ComedyCrimeDramaThriller122 min

Matthew McConaughey is Brandon Lang, a former college quarterback whose knee injury ends his shot at the pros and sends him into the world of football handicapping. His knack for picking winners catches the attention of Walter Abrams (Al Pacino), a booming sports consultant who turns Brandon’s predictions into a business for wealthy gamblers. Inside Walter’s operation, hotlines, television appearances, and big-money clients turn each weekend’s games into a test of nerve as much as skill. René Russo is Toni Abrams, watching the strain that builds around a business fueled by confidence, ego, and the thin line between a hot streak and a collapse.
