The Last Casino (2004 TV Movie)
1/10
Counting cards? I was counting the minutes!
6 June 2005
Even by Canadian movie making standards this movie is absolutely horrible. The casino sets were very badly done, I've seen better casinos at stags set up in banquet halls. I will throw a positive in here though, the loan shark's hairdo, positively hilarious! Now, the leads were passable but the movie is so horribly written there really wasn't a lot they could do with it. The real crime was the supporting cast, welcome to the only casino on the planet where they openly laugh at you when you lose playing blackjack, and I want to make special mention of the hotel security, about as threatening as a school guidance counselor giving you a scolding. If you do somehow have your converter go on the fritz and you simply must watch this, have a copy of Casino, or The Gambler with James Caan, or even Rounders handy. You can use them sort of like casino anti-venom to get this out of your system. One reviewer did however hit the nail on the head, he/she mentioned this is one of Canada's best movies, can't argue with that statement. At the time of this review the other reviewers had written exactly one review each, all about this movie, all glowing reviews! I wouldn't suggest cast and/or crew, but you could.
