Win Win

Writer and director Thomas McCarthy delivered another terrific film with his third feature that proves he's a talent to be reckon with. A struggling lawyer and volunteer wrestling coach's attempt to take advantage of an elderly comes back to haunt him when the grandson shows up with unexpected consequences. Terrific writing and directing with flawless performances by a terrific cast makes this gem of a film a joy. The outstanding cast includes Paul Giamatti, Amy Ryan, Burt Young and newcomer Alex Shaffer. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
