Totally Impressed

It's not always that you see a movie filmed around Vegas, prostitutes, gambling and swindling without the use of language or sex. Yet this movie does just that, it gives you a good story about the seedy side of Vegas, prostitutes and gambling without the use of language or sex.

A business man's one son is distraught between doing good by his dad, is overachieving brother and the need to break free. After he gets his half of a inheritance he takes off to find himself. He ends up in Sin City and after a successful gambling night meets a prostitute. The life in Sin City gets the better of him with a depth to a card shark. I guess as Kenny Rogers sang in "The Gambler" you gotta know when to walk away. You also have to know who to and not to trust. His guardian angel comes in the form of a kind hearted prostitute with issues of her own. With a dirty card shark out to collect with his life. It's with the prostitute and her father that helps him. Though his own dad is losing a battle with cancer goes to help his wayward son out with a personal lawyer in tow.

What impressed me most with this movie is it contains zero curse words, zero nudity and zero sex scenes. A strong cast and a very good script carried this movie perfectly.

It's a definite crowd pleaser and a great addition to my collection
