    I knew nothing more about the real life Molly Bloom. But after seeing the film I will say that her story is quite fascinating. 'Molly’s Game' is a very witty and well written film, which is what many have come to expect from Aaron Sorkin. The only real issue I had with the film is that Aaron Sorkin's directorial debut was a little dull. It was the slightly dullness that resulted in a film that failed to achieve the greatness that it was shooting for. While it didn't miss it by much, it did feel like it was shooting for the stars and fell slightly short. Even with this slight dullness though, I did enjoy the film and the well written and fascinating story kept me intrigued for the full runtime.
