Fake-Out (1982)
5/10
Slim plot, but funny in parts
9 January 2016
Warning: Spoilers
Most of this was filmed in the Riviera which was owned by Zadora's husband at the time. The script really doesn't develop much of a story about the gangster our night club singer is in love with. She is being held under protective custody at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas when she agrees to testify against him after being gang raped in prison. Some plot lines defy logic, i.e. the snipers are always aiming rifles at her hotel room window. Doesn't she ever close the drapes? I rarely ever leave my curtains open in a room. Some scenes pad out too long like where she's playing poker and tells her opponent all her strategy each time she draws a card. The car chase scene is hilarious also, but why would a girl be an expert shot leaning halfway out a car window? The real villain was one of the good guys, but he remained unpunished for trying to rub his own witness out.
