Inside Game

Movie has hookers, the mob, gambling, the NBA and 3 guys in the center of it. How these 3 got as far as they did I will never know.

I saw an interview with Scott Wolf where he said "Good Fellas for Dummies". It is perfect description and the movie is funny as hell.

This movie is a riveting account of the 2007 NBA reffing scandal. Outstanding script, superb direction, and exceptional performances throughout. A must see!

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.

This is far from a classic but my expectations were not very high anyway. I was interested in learning the details of this sad story and it delivered on that. Acting and casting is passable. As long as you're not expecting Scorsese you shouldn't be disappointed

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.
