Movie Review: Even Money

I totally plagiarized that from Megacritic.com, but if I had used quotation marks, you would have known it was a quote. So I omitted them, just to give you a little mystery. While that is a very well constructed sentence, and overall I like it, I wouldn’t call the movie “ferociously” compelling and find that an extremely odd word choice to describe a movie. “The Orioles had ferociously bad pitching” — now that’s a proper usage of “ferocious.”

Anyway, it was a pretty interesting movie. The ending had a narrative that went something like, “Everyone is chasing something. You just have to look at what you’re willing to give up to get it. We’re never happy enough with what we have.” That’s not a verbatim quote, but that was the sentiment. In searching online for direct quotes to improve the quality of this review, I discovered that most people seemed to have rated the dialogue, and I think the movie as well, pretty low. Oh well. Told you I wasn’t a movie critic.
