This fast-paced sports / crime / gambling tale is based on a true story and balances a lot of themes at once: strong women, personal integrity, daddy issues - it’s quite a lot to fit into one movie and it does it well.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
