Stretch (2014)
6/10
a bit of a stretch
7 October 2014
An amusing movie about a player with a gambling debt, trying to save his bones from snapping. The story is OK, feels original, but the pace changes a lot. For a comedy it's not that funny I think. Halfway the movie the main character is forced to go all-in, and that's where sh!t gets real. Now I'm curious what's next. His ex girlfriend distracts him, just when he needs to stay on target the most. Now this is just lame. It doesn't make anything better, it's just an unwelcome distraction for me, the entertainee. I have little choice but to follow along. The rest I won't tell.

Acting is on the level, everything looks legit but I just don't feel the guy cracking under the pressure. Either he's got solid rock balls, or he's not THAT good an actor.

Still I was quite entertained, you probably also will be.
