Subscribe FreeBrandon Lang (McConaughey) is a former star football player who finds himself in a dead-end job after a career-ending injury. But his incredible skill and remarkable stats at picking winning football bets comes to the attention of a gambling tycoon. Walter Abrams (Pacino) decides to build an empire around Brandon Lang, but forces him to reinvent himself and change his name to "John Anthony" to embrace the glitzy new lifestyle. However, John can't pick the winners like Brandon can, and Brandon must find himself before he and Walter lose everything. (Suzanne Hodges)
