If you thought we'd never talk about a poker/skiing movie, well, you clearly underestimated us. Or maybe you vastly overestimated us...
Anyway, in Molly's Game, Jessica Chastain is as solid as a rock in the title role and she's also the chillest drug addict you've ever seen. Her quip-filled scenes with Idris Elba are filled with chemistry and heat, but we questioned if all the legal scenes helped or hurt the film. Besides, if you're going to have these two actors spark off each other like this, then, for once, we want a romance in a sports movie! At least the poker scenes are authentic and Tobey Maguire is a highlight at the card table. Wait, that's Michael Cera! We had an amusingly hard time keeping that straight. So don't go on tilt or take a rake, but DO be a poker princess (or prince, we aren't here to judge) as we jabber about Molly's Game.
