AceShowbiz - The drama-thriller-comedy "Two for the Money" will see Matthew McConaughey, Al Pacino and Rene Russo team up, displaying their best act ever. Fans of the three actors can see their idols act as the film opens nationwide on Friday, October 7.
"Two for the Money" follows Brandon Lane, the role played by McConaughey, 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, Al Pacino's role, 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. The surrogate father/surrogate son relationship fattens Walter's business and personal accounts until Brandon's golden touch begins to falter at the same time that Walter's manipulation of his protege crosses the line.
With millions of dollars on the line, Brandon and Walter engage in a deadly game of con versus con, each one trying to maintain the upper hand while everyone in their world, including Walter's wife, Toni, played by Rene Russo, are drawn into the escalating duel-where ultimately everything isn't what it appears to be.
