	Movies - Two for the Money

Two for the Money is a 2005 film directed by D.J. Caruso and starring Matthew McConaughey, Al Pacino, and Rene Russo. The movie is about the world of sports gambling. McConaughey plays Brandon Lang, a former college football star who has the ability to predict the outcome of games but can't play due to an injury. Pacino plays a recruiter named Walter Abrams, the head of a sport consulting company.

He takes a job handicapping football games, and he's so good at picking winners he catches the eye of Walter Abrams (Pacino), the slick head of one of the biggest sports consulting operations in the United States. Walter takes Brandon under his wing and soon enough the money starts rolling in.

For a while, business is very good and Lang's in-depth knowledge of the game, the leagues and players continue to bring in the big bucks - and even bigger clients. Abrams's cable show, The Sports Advisors, takes off when he adds Lang to the desk, but when things go south and Lang loses his touch, the once rock solid relationship between Abrams and Lang sours and their fondness for football turns into a bitter fighting match for love and money.

Brandon's new high-rolling lifestyle depended entirely on his ability to predict the outcomes of the games, so when his golden touch began to falter, Walter applied the pressure. With millions at stake, Brandon and Walter do battle while everyone in their world, including Walter's wife, Toni (Russo), is drawn in.

The Bodog sponsored world premiere of Two for the Money in Beverly Hills, California was on Monday, September 26, 2005 and the release date was October 7, 2005,
