True to the Game

bad movie

Nothing special

True to the Game features a handful of redemptive elements: Gena's a good woman who gets seduced by a bad guy who'd like to be good again. Her grandmother is a dignified matriarch of deep faith (though she's not above uttering a crudity or knocking down a drink). And the film--much to its credit--suggests that violent, lawless choices will almost always result in violent, lawless consequences.
