It's hard for me to explain why I had such a good time with this movie, but I loved it. Right out of the gate, I could tell it was very low budget which normally turns me off, but the film grew on me pretty quick. From the opening scene in the strip club I was like "Okay, grauitous nudity right out of the gate" and it is, but I gave it some time and the flick really pulled me in. The main chick (the one who gets raped) is smokin' hot and you feel for her after she gets raped (although my friend made the comment "Raping a stripper isn't the same as raping a real woman" ???? Don't ask, I already smacked him for that.) So, I liked the main girl and the casino owner did a great job - very sleezy. True, there were a couple of weak performances, but the movie isn't meant to win awards, just be a lot of fun and it is. The robbery of the casino was very cool and believable and the end reminded me of Wild Things with a bunch of surprises. I wish the studios would make big movies like this as the story was every bit as good as Oceans 11. Problem is, if a studio made it, they'd take out all the nudity and give us a PG version of Las Vegas. Who wants that?
