Two For the Money (2005)

This movie is fairly deceptive because it looks like a thriller, or possibly a heist movie, but it really isn't. It's a serious drama about moral issues involved with gambling... But at no point does it turn preachy or silly about them. It examines them slowly and carefully and humanly, and at the end reaches a conclusion that makes sense. It was one of those movies where even where not much was happening, I was kept interested in the moment-by-moment happenings of the movie, which I've found is usually a sign of good screenwriting. Definitely an interesting movie, and worth watching. 4 stars.
