felix-wyderka This is a great comedy about friendship and taking chances. Reynolds and Mendelsohn have a great chemistry and also deliver amazing individual performances. The way Mendelsohn portrays emotions and feeling with his body is simply one of the best body acting performance I have ever seen. Also the cinematography is genius. With plenty of medium shots and close ups the camera captures all the emotions and makes the scenes even more intense and the viewer feel for the character. What I also really liked was the fact that in this movie the younger man is a role model for the older man, which is a rather uncommon concept in this kind of movie. And for every Ryan Reynolds fan out there, this is probably his best performance right after Deadpool ;) All in all I can say that this is a very well made movie that is less about gambling and rather about people and the power of believe and friendship.
areatw There's nothing worse than a movie that is out of touch with reality and the issues that it is supposed to be portraying, so I approached 'Mississippi Grind' with caution and was half-expecting an inaccurate and unrealistic depiction of a gambling addict.I was pleasantly surprised - the movie was well written and acted, with two great performances from Ben Mendelsohn and Ryan Reynolds as Gerry and Curtis. The movie places more emphasis on content and dialogue than anything else and is somewhat pedestrian, but still manages to be engaging.I thought this was a solid and commendable attempt at portraying a gambling addiction. Certainly not a perfect movie but a well-made and accurate one, which is what I had hoped for.
sweetaznmel I expected more out of Ryan Reynolds. The movie for me was like a trainwreck of donks. If you want to watch how people ruin their lives with no real plot line, then this movie is for you. We only got halfway through it before we just couldn't continue watching. I actually don't know how it ends, but it is just one bad decision after another up until a little after the halfway point. Not much substance to the movie and not much character building either. Kinda disappointed Ryan Reynolds would have picked this movie to be a part of. He is one of my favorite actors and this may be the only movie of his I did not like. It wasn't the worst movie I have ever watched, it just wasn't anything special and pretty much lost my attention less than ten minutes in. Boring and not really much going on.
rancifersucks Ben Mendelsohn & Ryan Reynolds in a sleazy gambling movie. Chasing the win that will solve everything. Not glitzy Vegas but drab gambling starting in Iowa & then down the Miss. River. Sometimes in lesser casinos, gambling riverboats and private poker games and once in a while at a track. Ben M. does the heavy lifting acting. All rumpled & down on his luck. Not violent & demented like the Bloodline brother but similar look & bad luck. But R.R. does a damn good job too. Sienna Miller is listed on posters etc b/c she is popular but she's barely in it. These people all have teeth that are too nice for the characters they are playing. I don't think these people are making it in for a 6 month cleaning all that often.
