I'm an Aaron Sorkin fan, but not the type of fan that worships him, more or less the fan that has enjoyed his body of work. He has always been a great writer, but what about a director? Well with Molly's Game he proves he has alot of style to match his witty scripts. This here is indeed his wittiest script, with a less talented writer this could have been a dull court room drama, but instead it oozes style, sex appeal, charm & humor. Focuses in on the story and not the case, fleshing out characters, and showing different sides & voices in cluster fuck of a tale. The story is not a cluster, the real life happenings were. This is easily the second best Sorkin project behind the Social Network. It's hard to top David Fincher, so coming in second is not a bad thing at all, especially for a debut film. The cast is great, even small parts like Michael Cera deserve praise. Jessica Chastain is fantastic in this, she is every bit as good of an actress as she is gorgeous. I am hooked on Sorkin now, i can't wait to see his next film, not his next script, his next film!
