The idea seemed simple, yet brilliant. A group of college kids gets together and tries to come up with a sure-fire money making scheme. Opening up a small time bookies, they seem destined to make a few dollars at no harm to anyone. Unfortunately they didn't count on drawing the attentions of some shady characters from the world of organized crime, which subsequently leads them into an alien, and scary, world in which they are clearly out of their depth. Stars Nick Stahl (TERMINATOR 3), Lucas Haas (MARS ATTACKS), and Rachel Leigh Cook (JOSIE AND THE PUSSYCATS). [Less]

Both a satiric and level-headed slant on collegiate life and big-time sports, Bookies is an eye-opening amusement.

Noisy, grating and morally dubious.

One of those undemanding pieces of entertainment that somehow creep up on you and force you to like them. This one's doubly recommended to those familiar with the joys and sorrows affiliated with sports betting.
