Two For the Money (2005)
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. Matthew McConaughey stars as Brandon Lane, a former college football star whose uncanny ability to predict the outcome of a game introduces him to an unexpected new career when his gridiron glory is sidelined by a crushing injury. Brandon's talent makes him a prime candidate for recruitment by Walter Abraham, the head of one of the biggest sports consulting operations in the country. Walter hires the small town ex-athlete and grooms him into a shrewd front man. Brandon soon begins to enjoy his status as a Manhattan golden boy and finds himself growing comfortable with Walter's high-rolling lifestyle.

Walter Abrams: After the therapy, and the psychiatry, and the meetings, you know what it all comes down to? You're all f*cked up.
Let's face it. If Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey, or Rene Russo are in a film, there is a better than even chance that I will be watching it. I'd say an 80% chance. It is not just their acting...
