Inside Game

In 2007 Tim Donaghy was caught leaking inside information in order to place bets on games that he was officiating. With the help of his 2 good friends they end up down a path of dangerous decisions

The movie opens with an exposition heavy 10 minutes but the movie kicks off pretty quick. Anyone familiar with the 2007 NBA scandal is aware that this was a big deal. What makes the movie work is that although the story is crazy, it somehow manages to stay grounded for the most part.

What really shines in this movie are Sasso and Wolf. I must say that for a guy who spit lemons from his mouth on social media I was very impressed with Sasso's performance. Wolf did a great job as well. Giving the audience a man to empathize with while also keeping us at the edge of our seats.

The film isn't without its flaws as there are parts that I felt didn't hit like they were supposed to. However I can easily recommend this to any NBA fan or gamblers out there.

In 2007 Tim Donaghy was caught leaking inside information in order to place bets on games that he was officiating. Through a tightly knit operation between him and his buddies, they were able to win millions of dollars. Anyone with a passion for basketball is most likely aware of the scandal that was happening right under their noses

The movie begins with an exposition heavy 10 minutes but once you´re past the hows and the whys, the film becomes an uneasy ride of daring decisions mixed with everyday life. Ultimately leading us to its inevitable ending. In my opinion, what makes ÏNSIDE GAME work is the focus on these guys and their home life. I was aware of the scandal when it happened just like a lot of people were. We knew what happened and this movie portrays that pretty well.

I´d like to avoid spoilers (In case some of you havent seen the movie). What really shines here are Sasso and Wolf. For a guy who spit lemons from his mouth on social media, I must say that I was very impressed with his performance. Wolf and Sasso both manage to make the film feel genuine, as it is such a crazy story.

I give the film 8 out of 10 stars as there are certain points i feel were either glossed over or not treated properly. Some scenes just didn´t hit like they should´ve but overall i think this is a film worth watching for any NBA fans or gamblers out there.

IF UR INTO GETTING THE EDGE FINDING THE LOCK BET OR JUST WANT TO WIN THEN DONT MISS OUT THIS SHOW GOT JUST ABOUT ALL OF THAT KNOWING THERE WEAKNESS MEANS CASHING IN UR BET

Possibly due to the fact that it was a true story. Inside Game tells a really cool story that in certain places felt too by-the-numbers and lacking emotion. Loved Will Sasso in it. First time I ever seen him do something that was not funny. Not that the character he played was so complex that he could not do it but still he did great job with the material. I'm impressed. He over shadowed Scott Wolf who I'm assuming most of the crowd went to see. Oh well. He was a main reason the film went bland too. He's reasoning in the film was to keep the story moving and he did such a lackluster job at it. But otherwise it's a decent film cause of a good story it tells.

I thought this would be some boring grungy gambling movie, but it was actually pretty funny. I don't know much about gambling but they clearly explained how betting lines work and how the bookie was able to manipulate them to make tons of money. It is also damning that the NBA rules are so complicated that final scores can be influenced so readily.

I liked how at the end it was one of the female characters who saved the day (girl power)! Plus I am not going to complain about seeing Bailey's sexy body many times over.
