John (Michael Kelly) is a bookie whose black-market business is being severely undercut by online gambling and the unwillingness of his clients to pay him the money they owe. So he is deciding to bet on local Little League games.
"All Square" hits too many familiar beats to be memorable, also it remains low to the ground for the most part not to mention that it doesn't succeed on the humor front - probably because of the director John Hyams, who is an odd choice for this film 'cos of his previous involvement in the action genre ("Dragon Eyes", "Universal Soldier: Day of Reckoning"). With a larger budget, "All Square" could have been more of a cinematic thriller with twists and turns at every corner. Instead, it's a smaller-focused feature film that serves as a character drama study. Basically, while "All Square" is not an entirely enjoyable ride, it's all a bit too thin. 6+/7-

Slow at few scenes for a gambling movie,, but it was over all enjoyable ..
The movie is really good, loved seeing Michael Kelly back after that "House of cards" break ... it was a nice touching plot ,, mostly drama ,, as i said, it got a bit slow in few scenes but again the it picks right up with some quick thrilling comedic run ;)
I think i had a problem with the the screenplay and the directing style .. the script even though looks tight and connected ,, it still had some holes and gave a bit of dullness to the sequence of the whole purposeful sense... directing wise ,, it as i insinuated, it should have been faster for a gambling movie.
The cast were all good ,, Michael Kelly and Jesse Ray Sheps engaged really well..
so least to say, the movie is recommended ,, not strongly though... meaning if you like Michael Kelly i think its worth spending the 7 dollars on these 90 minutes.
