It just turned up at our local theatre, was wondering if it was worth a couple hours of my time. Thanks.

It won't appeal to everyone, but I loved it. Very dark. I went with two friends and we were the only three in the theatre. I love it, one guy thought it was OK and the other one didn't like it at all. But if you like old-school casinos and dark movies, I'd certainly recommend it.

I'd say its worth a couple hours of your time. It played at our local alternative theater a few months ago, where you can drink beer while watching movies....:cool:

The sex scenes are quite explicit, so if your opposed to that sort of thing, you have been forwarned.

Alec Baldwin's character is the best one in the movie, IMO. If you've seen "GlenGarry Glen Ross" you have an idea of the character he plays.

I've always been a fan of William H. Macy's work, and he is in fine form as "The Cooler" in the film.


If you do see it, let us know what you thought of it.

I liked it. Good sex, pretty good story, Old Vegas vs. new. What else could you ask for.

sorry guys, passed out last night and I had to view it earlier today, nothing really special. You're better off seeing Troy at the theaters.

JMHO

Was ALMOST considering the rental...but with this new bitof info, not only am I OFF the bandwagon, I will do my city a community service and hide all the copies on the shelf behind EARNEST GOES TO CAMP so no one else would have to see that either !

I just watched it. I liked it. A lot of the casino scenes were hard to enjoy just because they weren't very realistic, but I guess that's the feeling you get when you work in that particular line of business. Although I did have the baby thing pegged right from the start. Other than that it gave me hope in my own life; maybe somedy my luck will turn:D
