August 18, 2008Conseil à ne pas faire avant de visionner ce film: ne discutez pas avec votre ami(e) des projets que vous aimeriez réaliser ou de l'argent qui n'est pas dans vos poches et que vous aimeriez avoir.

April 6, 2008Al Pacino gives a powerhouse performance, he shows us once again why he's the best actor of his generation and never fails to deliver. Matthew McCounahgy is at the top of his game, showing off his movie star charisma and that he can stand with his veteran mentor. A real adrenilin...( read more)

November 22, 2009With great performances across and some real tension, the unoriginality of the film doesn't really occur to me until after it's over. There's a great score and use of song throughout and Caruso really keeps things moving.

October 26, 2009Only liked the trailer cause of the jumprope part, then I discovered that Matts kind of a douchebag..

August 25, 2009Nothing's new here, the plot is kinda predictable, but what a wonderful writing (so smart)! And what performances from both McConaughey (so underrated) and Pacino (so... bad choices recently)!

Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
Two for the Money is "inspired by a true story." Problem is, it's just not that inspired. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
You can see Al Pacino doing something he's done a lot lately: Having a terrific time being an actor. full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
The stop-start rhythm is bad on the movie's gearbox and before long we realize that we're looking at a highly polished lemon. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Like Barry Sanders rushing for 200 yards in a losing effort, an overacting Pacino saves the sluggish film from being unwatchable. full review
