Why didn't I see this in the theatre?
Oh, wait..I live in Kansas!
A very nice character driven -please don't read that as slow- movie set in Vegas. The
subtext is the major overhaul Vegas is in the middle of, as it becomes a vacation spot for Joe Sixpack and his family.
The cancer of the suburbs is confronted only once, but can be glimpsed in the edges of the frame throughout the movie. New York went first I suppose, apparently Vegas resisted The Gap and Disney a heartbeat longer..
Baldwin, Macy, Bello all bring superb performances to the table in this underlit jazzsmoke filled film. Apparently the film received some award nominations, as well it should have.
Do yourself a favor, rent it, watch it and marvel at a well told story.
