Predictable. Best thing about the movie is the Vegas scenery.
This movie was–
(-) infidelity
(-) puking
(how boring is that?)
Contessa says, “Wait til it comes to DVD.”
Rotten Tomatoes agrees with The Contessa: Consensus– Supplants the fascinating true story in favor of mundane melodrama… For a movie about high-stakes gambling, 21 settles for penny-ante dramatics. 04/14/08 10:41 AM
A film that makes Rounders seem like a work of great seriousness and import. 04/02/08 04:43 PM
So predictable. I guessed the ending very early on (very early).
And, while I love a good romance, the sugary-sweet-goodie-two-shoes relationship between Peter and Kay was B-O-R-I-N-G (made me want to puke). Peter– with his “woe is me attitude,” and Kay– with her soup sipping and china dusting. OMG, kill me already!
I actually found myself secretly hoping Peter would “off” Kay during a sleepwalking episode. I mean, c’mon!, ANYTHING for some action.
Title should have been, “I Read That Book Before.”
Strange little movie. Almost as strange as Pulp Fiction. Almost.
Sure, I was a little late in seeing this one– but it was worth the wait. Certainly kept me entertained. Never a dull moment. Must admit though, from the title, I was expectin’ an old-style western.
Old-style it is not. However, like most good westerns, this movie serves up one hell of a sawed-off-shotgun scene.
Contessa says– go see it (if you don’t mind blood).
This movie was:
(-) infidelity
(+) puking– take note during the “border crossing” scene.
A sample of what’s being said over at Rotten Tomatoes: The film is as lean and mean as a barbed-wire necktie, darkly funny and much deeper than the average crime thriller. –Minneapolis Star Tribune
