Las Vegas is the true beauty of this film.
11 February 2002
Any time a film or show takes place in Las Vegas, it gets extra points from me. Las Vegas the city steals the show because it is a truly glamorous place to behold. It's also the setting for this low budget spin on the film Robert Redford wished he'd never have been in, Indecent Proposal.

Tim Abell and Gabriella Hall play a married couple from L.A. who frequent Vegas often. Apparently, they've never had much luck, but they survive. One day, a script that Jed Wills had written and was expecting to be paid for is cancelled, and they are broke. Then a friend offers to let them into a safe bet to double their money in a horse bet, they decide to bet money (even increasing the bet) they don't have, thinking it's a sure thing, but they lose, and now they need to find the money or there's going to be trouble. They somehow get a cash advance and try to play roulette for the money, but it fails. Then Jed meets up with a mysterious woman played by Tane McClure who promises to cover their bet if he does some things for him, and that's when the movie becomes just like Indecent Proposal.

The acting is here is pretty good for a drama, but the sex scenes aren't very good. Tane McClure did tighten her buns, but she's pretty stiff. As for Gabriella Hall, she was alright, but she's nothing mind-blowing, although I did like her in Centerfold. Tim Abell has an attitude throughout the film. I did love the twists and turns, and especially the ending, though. I was cheering for it. The reason I liked this film was Vegas. The mindblowing scenery just makes me want to return there and walk in the neon glow.
