If you loved The Program, try Lay the Favorite
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Stephen Frears, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Program, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Lay the Favorite is
It figures a math whiz would find work in Vegas. A former stripper lands a job with a sports book operator. The film manages a mild win.
