Despre acest film

In this lively, freewheeling road movie, Ben Mendelsohn plays Gerry, a talented but down-on-his-luck gambler whose fortunes begin to change when he meets Curtis (Ryan Reynolds), a younger, highly charismatic poker player. The two strike up an immediate friendship and Gerry quickly persuades his new friend to accompany him on a road trip to a legendary high stakes poker game in New Orleans. As they make their way down the Mississippi River, Gerry and Curtis manage to find themselves in just about every bar, racetrack, casino, and pool hall along the way, experiencing both incredible highs and dispiriting lows, but ultimately forging a deep and genuine bond that will stay with them long after their adventure is over. Co-starring Sienna Miller and from the directors of Half Nelson, MISSISSIPPI GRIND is a film about friendship, family and the paths we sometimes unexpectedly find ourselves on. 2014 MG SP, LLC.

An absolute masterpiece in the drama genre. Ben Mendelssohn and Ryan Reynolds give OSCAR deserving performances. You will not find a film that has better chemistry between it’s two lead actors than this film. The characters of Gerry (Ben Mendelssohn) and Gerry (Ryan Reynolds) are very nuanced and whose flaws are relatable. It’s a excellently written, beautifully directed and superbly acted film about gambling addiction and friendship. The film is the most underrated and overlooked masterpiece that truly deserves your attention and then some. All up I’d give it a 8.7/10

Haven't finished it, what a bad movie....
