This movie brings to life the 2007 reffing scandal that rocked the NBA. You'll find yourself rooting for the 3 deeply-flawed main characters, which is a tribute to the outstanding writing, direction, and acting. A truly enjoyable movie experience that I cannot more highly recommend.
This movie is a riveting account of the 2007 NBA reffing scandal. Outstanding script, superb direction, and exceptional performances throughout. A must see!
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
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.

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.
