Barf. Terrible acting. Terrible all round

Borderline painful to watch. Terrible acting all round. I ended up watching this because I had a sleeping baby in my arms stopping me from changing the channel.

Excellent portrait of a Las Vegas dancer, on the brink of stardom, whose obsession with her boyfriend, Blu, leads to her eventual undoing.

Having been recently assaulted by a former beau, our heroine meets up with this fellow dancer and their relationship may best be described as tumultuous. She has love for him despite his constantly cheating ways and she allows herself to have this affect her aspiring career; although, she is constantly warned by her choreographer that her performance must come first.

It's basically the story of a girl who nearly had it all and allowed her obsession to destroy everything and ultimately end her life.

Roselyn Sanchez acts and dances well

Warning: Spoilers
This is a well made and well written true life murder movie based on as the title states, the death of a Vegas dancer.

Roselyn Sanchez displays her talent as a dancer with some very professional looking sequences. Quite amazing for an actress who is over 40 - she is in great shape. She is a moving and convincing actress showing a lot of zest in the beginning and anguish during her troubled times. The actor who played her lover wasn't well cast. He didn't look hot enough to be so obsessed over. And his acting was a bit laid back.

This movie shows some of the sacrifice and hard work behind many of the talented dancers trying to make their way. The victim is a sympathetic character even though you wonder why a pretty talented woman would care so much for an abusive cheater.

Worth watching.
