Movie Review

Grade: B- From D.J. Caruso, the director of Taking Lives, comes his new film Two for the Money, about an ex-football quarterback who becomes engulfed within the world of sports betting. Based upon watching Taking Lives, I came into this film with two expectations, that the movie would have quality visuals and that the story would not bring much new to the table.

Two for the Money, by D.J. Caruso

October 7, 2005

I went thinking that it would have some intense action and all i got was some lousy cusing. The movie was horrible and the best part of it was the end. So i would see it because it has Matthew Mconaughey but dont expect anything more then good acting and a bad story.
