Inside Game

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.

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.

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

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.

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
