Two for the Money (2005) Review
Brandon Lang (Matthew McConaughey) wins a college bowl game for his team on the last play of the game, but unfortunately his leg doesn't quite make it, getting twisted at an odd angle while his body goes the other way.
Six years later, he is working a 900 line in Las Vegas when he's asked to work on the gambling line, and suddenly he's noticed by a high-rolling New York personality (Al Pacino) with his own cable show and whisked off to the big time.
