	Two for the Money (2005): Reviews
		Two For the Money is a drama of high stakes set in the adrenalized world of wheeler-dealers whose fortunes are won and lost betting on sports.
		For all its swaggering bravado, Pacino's turn in Two For The Money is the reverse image of his "Devil's Advocate" character: Instead of the omniscient, all-powerful operator he presents himself as, he's a gambler grasping at a lifestyle that's always just beyond his means.
		Two for the Money, which was written by Dan Gilroy (Freejack, Chasers), is so badly constructed and illogical that its inanities manage to drown the actor (Pacino) out.

	Two for the Money
		For two or three funny lines, we must wade through waves of impenetrable, pointless dialogue that sounds like it was written by aliens who had just finished the collected works of Harold Robbins.
		Every time we see a TV in Two for the Money, it reminds us just how improbable the story is. The movie offers no handholds for the audience, leaving us behind in a flurry of important-sounding but meaningless exchanges between two-dimensional characters.
		That's bad enough, but Two for the Money is finally sunk by the preening performance of Matthew McConaughey, who presents his ex-jock character as a hee-hawing cross between Jethro Bodine and the buff killer in American Psycho.

	Zap2it.com - Movie review - Two for the Money
		Even though its two-hour-plus running time is dedicated to the proposition that "Two for the Money" is something fresh and worthy of serious attention, viewers have certainly seen this one before.
		"Two for the Money" is an unstructured mess of a movie, several nuggets of narrative gold scattered without focus or resolution and topped off by one of those Al Pacino performances where he might as well be played by an impersonator.
		Some critics are likely to interpret Pacino's "Money" work as intentional self-parody, because surely he's a smart enough man to know that he's played this kind of unhinged father figure too many times.

		“Two For The Money” is about those guys on cable TV who are always promising you a guaranteed, 10-star, lock-of-the-decade, undefeated weekend of betting on the games.

		The makers of “Two for the Money” are gambling that people will lay their moola down to see Al Pacino starring yet again as Al Pacino.

		The disarming, pie-in-the-sky paternalism, the giddy ranting and raving, the quiet rage that erupts without warning — all the quirks and ticks of a Pacino performance are present in overabundance.

		"Two for the Money" is a slickly made drama starring one of the finest actors in the world, a major movie star and an actress who is often underrated.
		Or to put it another way, it is a (yet another!) story of a surrogate father-son relationship, but we never care a whit for either the father or the son.
		But "Two for the Money" does add one bit of information to the public good: a credible explanation for gambling.

		"Two for the Money" is not about the mechanics of this business, but about its emotions.
		The point is that something happens on the second floor that means Walter and Brandon and the telephone guys make a pile of money when Brandon correctly predicts the weekend games, and they do it without placing bets or taking bets.

	Developers of Duke Nukem take on Take Two - Jun. 11, 2003
		In February, Take Two announced plans to take a $5.5 million write-down on their earnings due to the game's "extended development time".
		Take Two believes that a five-year development cycle is more than enough time to complete a game — even one that changed its graphics engine mid-stream.
		Aside from the money it earned on "Duke Nukem 3D", the developer also recently sold the rights to the "Max Payne" franchise directly to Take Two for "$45 million and kickers worth several million more," according to a March web posting by co-owner Scott Miller.

	Review: Two for the Money (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Two for the Money starts as a high voltage drama about the underbelly of the sports business - the multi-billion dollar gambling industry.
		Two for the Money, despite being more of a drama than a thriller (although it occasionally has the rhythms of the latter), starts out as strongly and finishes as weakly.
		Two for the Money is marginally worth seeing if you're a Pacino fan but, even then, waiting for the DVD is the smart bet.

	Reviews: Two For The Money - Christianity Today Movies
		Two for the Money starts off intriguingly with some sharp writing as we learn about the sports consulting biz, still unsure about where the story is headed, and enjoying characters that begin much happier than they end.
		Two for the Money is rated R primarily for its pervasive bad language, which includes taking the Lord's name in vain and rampant use of the f-word.
		Two for the Money, starring Pacino, Matthew MacConaughey, and Rene Russo, falls in the latter category.

	Portland Mercury - Film - A Bad Bet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		The one-two combination of sports and gambling should have been a lock for gripping cinematic excitement: Both have more rollicking highs and lows than a runaway rollercoaster.
		But instead, Two For The Money—which is billed as a high-octane combination of football, high-stakes gambling and, yes, the power coupling of Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey—completely flatlines.
		Are you kidding me? The end result's a mess: Two for the Money is a film that will disappoint the guys because it is exactly one-half of a lame sports film, and simultaneously, it'll disappoint the touchy-feelies, since it's a halfassed relationship story.

	Metromix. Movie review: 'Two For the Money'
		In director D.J. Caruso's "Two For the Money," Pacino plays a variation on this theme as Walter Abrams, a gambling addict who has found a loophole in his 12-step program.
		Money starts rolling, the stakes get higher and Brandon's winning streak starts to cool, then collapse.
		"Two For the Money" echoes Oliver Stone's "Wall Street" and its "Greed is Good" mantra, and Caruso essentially delivers a movie about gambling without consequences.

	Movie Review for Two for the Money (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Two for the Money may be my leading candidate for the year's most mis-marketed film.
		That’s the reason to watch Two for the Money too: this is Pacino’s movie.
		McConaughy may be the movie’s pretty boy face man, but his acting scenes are secondary in the film, tertiary if you consider Russo weighs in with some pivotal scenes as well.

		A warning to buff, upwardly mobile young himbos everywhere: beware Al Pacino's efforts to mentor you, for he is corruption incarnate and will ruin your life.
		Matthew McConaughey completes the trifecta in Two For the Money, a saga of sweaty, shirt-sleeved triumph and five o'clock-shadowed disappointment set in the shady world of professional sports handicapping.
		McConaughey is Brandon Lang, a former college football star hampered by a bum knee and an even more crippling lack of ambition.

		October 5, 2005 - Directed by D.J. Caruso (not to be confused with D.J. Qualls or even D.J. Jazzy Jeff), Two for the Money is a story about the world of high stakes football betting.
		The set-up of Two for the Money makes for an interesting, if only all too shallow, premise.
		Two for the Money is one-half a mediocre film and one-half a terrible one.
