Inside Game

In 2007 Tim Donaghy was caught leaking inside information in order to place bets on games that he was officiating. With the help of his 2 good friends they end up down a path of dangerous decisions

The movie opens with an exposition heavy 10 minutes but the movie kicks off pretty quick. Anyone familiar with the 2007 NBA scandal is aware that this was a big deal. What makes the movie work is that although the story is crazy, it somehow manages to stay grounded for the most part.

What really shines in this movie are Sasso and Wolf. I must say that for a guy who spit lemons from his mouth on social media I was very impressed with Sasso's performance. Wolf did a great job as well. Giving the audience a man to empathize with while also keeping us at the edge of our seats.

The film isn't without its flaws as there are parts that I felt didn't hit like they were supposed to. However I can easily recommend this to any NBA fan or gamblers out there.

This movie is a riveting account of the 2007 NBA reffing scandal. Outstanding script, superb direction, and exceptional performances throughout. A must see!

This movie was very... with the script followed the events just as some remembered. The cast did fantastic. (especially Will Sasso and Betsy Beutler) The movie was action, funny , and entertaining. Now...the ball's........in your......court Go see it.

Movie has hookers, the mob, gambling, the NBA and 3 guys in the center of it. How these 3 got as far as they did I will never know.

I saw an interview with Scott Wolf where he said "Good Fellas for Dummies". It is perfect description and the movie is funny as hell.

In 2007 Tim Donaghy was caught leaking inside information in order to place bets on games that he was officiating. Through a tightly knit operation between him and his buddies, they were able to win millions of dollars. Anyone with a passion for basketball is most likely aware of the scandal that was happening right under their noses

The movie begins with an exposition heavy 10 minutes but once you´re past the hows and the whys, the film becomes an uneasy ride of daring decisions mixed with everyday life. Ultimately leading us to its inevitable ending. In my opinion, what makes ÏNSIDE GAME work is the focus on these guys and their home life. I was aware of the scandal when it happened just like a lot of people were. We knew what happened and this movie portrays that pretty well.

I´d like to avoid spoilers (In case some of you havent seen the movie). What really shines here are Sasso and Wolf. For a guy who spit lemons from his mouth on social media, I must say that I was very impressed with his performance. Wolf and Sasso both manage to make the film feel genuine, as it is such a crazy story.

I give the film 8 out of 10 stars as there are certain points i feel were either glossed over or not treated properly. Some scenes just didn´t hit like they should´ve but overall i think this is a film worth watching for any NBA fans or gamblers out there.
