In this lively, freewheeling road movie, Ben Mendelsohn (Lost River) plays Gerry, a talented but down-on-his-luck gambler whose fortunes begin to change when he meets Curtis (Ryan Reynolds), a younger, highly charismatic poker player. The two strike up an immediate friendship and Gerry quickly persuades his new friend to accompany him on a road trip to a legendary high-stakes poker game in New Orleans. As they gamble their way down the Mississippi, in riverboat casinos, racetracks, bars and pool halls, Gerry and Curtis experience both incredible highs and dispiriting lows, ultimately forging a deep and genuine bond that will stay with them long after their adventure is over.

Reminiscent of classic 1970s American Cinema, Mississippi Grind is an unforgettable journey featuring two characters who—flawed as they may be—are always worth rooting for. It’s a film about friendship, addiction, regret, family, and the paths we sometimes unexpectedly find ourselves on—told with empathy, humor, and a remarkable light touch by acclaimed filmmakers Ryan Fleck and Anna Boden (Half Nelson, It’s Kind of A Funny Story).

“Among the virtues of Mississippi Grind is an unpredictability that’s rare in movies these days. For much of the film, it’s unclear just where it’s going - and that’s just fine.” – St. Louis Post-Dispatch
