This isn't a good movie. Maybe cute, but not good. It's not even funny.

Like the first movie it got better in the second half of the movie.
Except this one was way harder to watch.
The funniest scenes are the most unessacary. Like the bird fight one
This movie was very boring at times but it was also sorta funny at times too.
This movie makes me appreciate the simplicity of the first movie
This movie was trying to be home alone two but ended up being home alone three These movies really do feel like home alone with a overweight cop
Also we get like no mall cop stuff until like an hour into the movie.
The soundtrack wasn't good because I don't remember a single song they had in the movie. If any.
They basicly ditched the entire cast of the first movie except for 2 characters
And the story isn't creative at all. They just go to Vegas for some speech and Paul's daughter gets aceepted to college.
Speaking of the college storyline i didn't really like it. Plus I feel like this movie would be exactly the same if they didn't add that plotline in
There's a lot more nit pics I have, but I don't want this video to be too long so we won't get into too much
Let's just say this movie was a pretty big downgrade from the first movie
But I will rate this movie a not so solid 5/10 really the only positive I had with this movie was it was pretty funny if not funnier than the first to me.
Overall it was just a very bland and boring sequel I do not recommend this movie at all. I hope there not making a mall cop 3 because they should have made a MALL COP 2.

A really funny comedy for all ages to enjoy!

Mall Cop 2 is directed by Andy Fickman and stars Kevin James, Raini Rodriguez, David Henrie and Neal Mcdonough. Basically, the plot is that after six years of keeping the malls safe, Paul Blart has earned a vacation to Vegas for a conference with other security guards. He heads to Vegas with his teenage daughter before she heads off to college. But safety never takes a holiday when a gang of people try to steal some paintings. I really enjoyed the first Mall Cop movie and it is one of my favourite comedies of recent years. The first one was directed by Steve Carr and you can really tell the change of director. This movie is set in Las Vegas and I really liked the fact that they changed the setting because it was more conducive to comedy and a much funnier place. Kevin James in the movie is as funny as the first one, I couldn't think of anyone else to play his role and he does it perfectly. He is really funny in the movie and is really dedicated to his role. A thing that the first movie was missing but that this one got right is that the sidekicks where actually funny and added a lot to the story. For instance, the other Mall Cops where as funny as Kevin James and that definitely added a lot to the movie. The first had no real sidekicks and though Kevin James was funny he could have needed the help of others to make it better. I really like this style of comedies and Mall Cop 2 did it very well. A lot of good jokes and memorable moments. My only issue was that the movie takes about 25 minutes to really get going. The first part of the movie is slow but does have a few good gags. But once it gets started it is great! This movie was as good as the first one because of a minor issue but the setting and story was better than the first movie and that's why I highly recommend checking this movie out. It is a perfect summer movie that isn't too long and that will make laugh everyone from all ages. Check it out and have a lot of fun!
The Cinematic Equivalent of Getting Shot in the Face
RealHumanBean26 May 2015
Speed 2. Caddyshack 2. Exorcist 2. Star Wars Episode II. These are what are typically named as the worst direct sequels ever.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 may be worse than a quadruple feature of all of those. I mean it when I say Paul Blart 2 is one of the most unfunny, moronic, brain cell killing experiences I've had in a cinema. There's an extended sequence where an old man eats a rotten banana that goes on for around 15 seconds. The film begins with Blart's elderly mom getting killed by a milk truck. There's a part where Blart interrupts a stage show and knocks out all the dancers by spinning around on a rope while squealing. There's a part where Blart is attacked by and beats an exotic bird while a piano player nods and smiles (DUDE JUXTAPOSITION LMAO). There's a entire segment dedicated to showcasing multiple Checkov's Guns in the form of a mall cop convention (As if those even existed). I dunno I didn't enjoy it.
Blart is somehow more unlikable this time around. Rather than a smug dumbass, he's now a smug asshole. The "film" is 50% him making fun of people, 30% Blart falling down, 20% plot holes, and 0% funny. I maybe chucked at some points, but truth is I don't even remember the movie or what it was I chucked at. I can say for sure there are more helicopter shots reminding the target audience (Who to be fair also probably need to be reminded to breathe and blink) that the movie is set in Vegas than there were chuckles.
You know that rotten banana I mentioned? Paul Blart 2 is that banana, and the man eating is is the decrepit and moronic public eating up the film's schlock yet again, probably paving the way for another opportunity for Adam Sandler and co. to shill even more money out of Hollywood for his posse. Like my painful experience with Transformers 4, people once again applauded upon conclusion, one elderly couple saying "That was too funny!"
There's tastes in humor and then there's standards in humor. Paul Blart 2 wasn't unfunny to me because it did not pander to my sense of humor. If anything it should have; with all the misogyny and ridiculing of fat people it should have struck my dark humor funny bone. However, there's no gags, there's no punchlines, there's no jokes. There's also no emotional backbone, chemistry, or even real characters to back it up. Characters literally appear and disappear throughout the narrative. I don't even think the villain had a name. I don't think anyone not buds with Blart had one.
This time around, not only is Paul Blart a bland copy of Die Hard, but Taken and Ocean's 11. The plot is a cluster-f of nothing. The first 45 minutes are, like I mentioned, just Blart riding around and getting up in everyone's faces for "comedic" purposes, with plenty of empty time given for the target audience to laugh hysterically at like a bad sitcom. The actual "Paul Blart beating baddies" isn't until the film's finale, and even then he doesn't actually beat anyone, because all of his "weapons" are stupidly non-lethal, including a stun gun that only stuns people for 5 seconds, a gun that shoots gum, a gun that spills marbles vertically, and a bean bag cannon. Two characters actually fall asleep in the movie, one of them twice. I felt a kinship to them for that reason.
There's a romantic subplot with Blart's daughter and a bellhop that goes literally nowhere and an even more forced "romantic subplot" between a hotel manager and Blart. She gets progressively wetter and wetter for him throughout the film, which to me is too far of a stretch of imagination to comprehend and accept. This also leads to nowhere. The female cop on the horse in he trailer? That is literally the ending. Blart himself is beyond unlikable and revolting. He is not reluctant like John McClain from Die Hard, he craves to be the center of attention since his saving on the mall 6 years ago became utterly irrelevant the day after (I wish I could say the same for the movie itself). He's incompetent, rude, crude, and physically unable to actually do anything heroic. He'd make a good anti-hero if he wasn't presented as this humble all American goody two shoes as the movie does.
The movie doesn't even take place in a mall. What's up with that? With truly atrocious jokeless dialogue ("I will bring a folk guitar to a pumpkin fight, because that's how crazy I am!"), beyond unlikable characters, an incompetent lead, a transparent and personality-less villain, disappearing subplots, stretched imagination, cliché and trope filled writing I can say Baul Plart: pop Tart Too is one of the worst films I've ever seen. Offensively stupid and brash, this blatant cashgrab managed one seemingly impossible feat, sink even lower than the previous film. Utterly baffling, this 1.5 hour Wynn commercial (Not a single scene takes place outside of it once they arrive) is to me the Transformers 2 of comedy, a wretched anorexic piece with no soul, craft, or effort put into it at all. The fraction of points I award it are for the laughs my friends and I had at making fun of it and a single shot that lasted a third of a second that looked pretty cool.

Way worse than the original
Zingbot_900022 July 2015
I don't write reviews very often. I have to feel moved to write one.
I liked the first Paul Blart movie. It was goofy innocent fun.
IMDb can be a joke as people rate and comment on movies they have not seen. Many of these comments and ratings come even before the movie has even really been released. Many comments out there were bashing the first one and saying there was no reason for a second one. But yes, there was reason for a second one if it is well done.
I will keep it light and avoid spoilers. This movie lacked the charm of the first one. Paul Blart was likable in the first one. For this one he was a total buffoon.
In addition, the first one made sense as Paul Blart was the only person other than the criminals and hostages in the mall as it was closed. This one takes place in a casino in Las Vegas and everyone knows that they are open 24 hours a day. Why were the police never contacted? Paul Blart was never even hired by the casino as security he was only there for a convention.
Also, the fighting scenes with the bad guys last 15 to 20 minutes. Paul actually only fights 2 guys on his own.
I really wanted to like this one, but the 3 of us that tried watching it were all bored.
There are a couple laugh out loud moments and this movie is suitable for families, but it was awful. Reminded me of the old Dana Carvey movie the Master of Disguise. Just a moronic stupid movie and not likable either. Do yourself a favor and leave your Paul Blart memories with the conclusion of the first movie. This script needed a major overhaul.

Who are theses people who loved this movie. It is a complete waste of time and any resources required to produce this steaming pile of garbage. Everyone involved should be ashamed. I ashamed that I watched it. It cost me a whole 75 cents to rent this disaster and in my history of bad investments this is definite the worst offense. That is how bad I think this thing, I can't even call it a movie, is. I can't even believe I have to write ten lines to have this posted. How many ways can I say I hated everything about it. The acting was grade school quality, the plot was nonexistent. To say every bit of cheap comedy and slap stick was predictable is an understatement. Seriously, I only gave it one star because that's as low as the ratings go.
Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 was an unbearable watch

PAUL BLART MALL COP 2 review by Mike Smith
After six years of keeping our malls safe, Paul Blart has earned a well-deserved vacation. He heads to Vegas with his teenage daughter before she heads off to college. But safety never takes a holiday and when duty calls, Blart answers.
Well the first film wasn't the best movie I have ever seen but it was a good family movie and I did have some chuckles. On the other hand Paul Blart Mall Cop 2 was an unbearable watch; the jokes fall flat and they feel really forced. The first movie was a good family film, but to make your family watch this god awful sequel is more like torture.
The cast did feel like they had fun making it but I wish I felt the same way about watching this movie. There wasn't anything good about the film at all so take my word for it and save yourself some time. Cheers and remember I watch the crappy movies so you don't have to.

Only two parts were funny. The cape and walking across the street when he sees a cop on horseback.
Everything else torture beyond words with every cliché you see in all Happy Madison movies over and over and over.
They always use the same plots only changing the location. Save your family. Save your time. Save yourself from a complete waste. I am only writing these lines because you need 10 to post. I just don't want anyone else to waste their time. I will never , ever watch any happy Gilmore movie again or one by those affiliated with such. They have really gotten lazy and lack creativity and imagination in the worst way and keep running the same plots.

Tyypo1 January 2016
With the reviews here, I was expecting a terrible movie. I probably wouldn't have bothered with it but it was a free On Demand option recently. The worst thing about it was the lengthy setup, with plenty of exposition from the previous film followed by a lot of nothing before the actual story takes place. Once that began, I thought it had reasonably funny moments reminiscent of the original. I also appreciated that it had no memorable profanity that would have made it unsuitable for children, like so many "family" films these days. However, it was a one and done film; I don't see subjecting myself to repeat viewings.
More of the same
Wizard-810 August 2015
Although the original "Paul Blart: Mall Cop" was a box office hit, I don't think anyone was exactly clamouring for a sequel. But here one is, and it's pretty much like the first movie, namely that it's a comic take on the formula the action movie "Die Hard" gave birth to. While there are a handful of gags that this adult did find to be (mildly) amusing, the humor for the most part is simple-minded and lame, with a number of gags recycled from the first movie. Kids (YOUNG kids) might find the humor to be funny, but I think other adults like myself will sit in silence like I did. Is there anything of merit to be found in the movie? Well, Kevin James does bring in an instant likability, like he did in the first movie. But he really needs someone else to write his material. And the movie looks great, with expert photography and lighting that makes the colors pop out of your television set. So if your kids insist on dragging you to see this movie with them, make sure you get the Blu-ray disc.
What a garbage fire
chickenbonealex22 September 2019
This is actually my least favorite movie I've ever seen. They made Paul a completely unlikeable sex offender and I hated every second he was on screen. This movie actually gave me cancer, I feel the the tumors growing on my back.
Blart Side of the Moon

It had me laughing throughout - silly and fun!
nikiatsea-3713420 April 2015
First, in full disclosure I'm a huge Kevin Janes fan and will see him in just about anything he's in. I felt compelled to post after reading so many extremely negative reviews. What were you guys expecting with the title "Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2"?
This is not meant to be a high brow movie. However if you check all of your expectations at the door and simply enjoy the movie, I don't see how you couldn't find yourself laughing at all the silliness that ensues.
Is it the best movie of all time? Not even close. But it's not trying to be. So enjoy it for what it is, and if you're not a fan of these type of comedies, don't see it or review it.
I saw it with two girlfriends and the 3 of us were in stitches throughout. Admittedly we seemed to be laughing the loudest in the pretty full theater.
Life can be pretty serious and sometimes you need a fun, completely mindless escape. For me, Paul Blart 2 fulfilled this perfectly.

I've never seen the original Paul Blart film, but from what the reviews say, it's apparently not bad. but the 2nd one is the real deal, it sucks.
First of all, you could've hired a fanfiction writer to write the script, and it probably would have been funnier. Heck, I could've written a funnier script than what they came up with.
There's only one real redeeming quality to this film, and that's it's physical comedy. Some of the bits were well timed, but most of the time, it's just Paul Blart falling down.
The story is a hack plot. Blart's off to Las Vegas, and just happens to get wrapped up in the middle of an art heist. There's not much else that I cared about in the film.
1/10...don't go see it.

Adam Sandler Money Grab
greg_haloman16 April 2015
This movie is absolutely what you would expect out of any Adam Sandler movie, excluding the fact that it is extremely unfunny. Most of the jokes are complete garbage and the main plot in the movie is rushed into your face without any real explanation. Throughout the entire movie I laughed probably a record of 1-3 times. I would not recommend this movie to anyone with a sensible amount of intelligence. Not only does this movie is absolute garbage, the script and acting is terrible. At best I could watch this movie again if i was held at gun point because that best describes the consistent dribble which is visible in this movie. I can say that this movie is not as bad as Grown Ups 2 but it is far from good, my rating for this is harsh because this movie does not deserve another sequel for the love of God.
Wow, A complete let down
pslvirutec26 June 2015
I guess it all made sense in the rolling credits at the end that Adam Sandler had his hand in this piece of junk movie. The whole movie plays out like a very bad Nickelodeon after school special. I think the movie could of been rated "G" if it wasn't for a few fake karate kicks. My 6 year old thought it was even crap. Take a decent movie and make a dumb sequel. That's what Hollywood loves to do, and they did it again with this terrible movie. Adam Sandler is a has been and should never put his hands on anything. This is another one of his failures, I wish he would go back to SNL and sing the lunch lady song again. At least he couldn't mess that up. I even watched the whole movie hoping that it would get better seeing that I waited so long for it to come out on Bluray. Rent it and be disappointed, don't buy it and feel regret. 1 * is being generous.
Movie is so bad I'd I've it a negative rating if I could.
akulik-8462917 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
This movie was so uncomfortably bad I will never watch it again. My group of friends and I went into the movie expecting a corny movie that we could laugh at but what we saw, ruined my humor and views of Kevin James. The movie bombarded the audience with line after line of fat and "fake cop" jokes that it made me want to vomit yet it still made people chuckle. The text was so unoriginal and cliché that you could predict what was about to be done or said making the movie uninteresting and not funny when it tried to be. If you didn't know any big name actors, you'd think that this production was composed by a high school student writing a last-minute essay for English class. The plot is rushed and at some points, I couldn't even figure out if there was a plot. The "romance" between Blart and some woman is unbelievably unrealistic and the producers try to salvage and few jokes from that but just made me even more uninterested in the movie. I managed to sit through the movie but in the end, it made me sick that something with a big-name actor like Kevin James even exists and is even referred to as a comedy.
Fat Guy Fall Down Go Boom, Ha Ha!
mollyjatkinson20 October 2017
Paul Blart is a fat mall security guard who falls down a lot and takes his job way too seriously. That is what this entire movie, no wait actually two movies, is based on. I guess we are supposed to find it funny every single time he falls down on the ground because he is overweight?
Also he has a silly little mustache so I guess that is also supposed to make us laugh non stop too. Every single character in these movies is unbelievable and annoying. The writing is garbage and none of the predictable jokes are funny.
Please stop making Paul Blart and please stop watching Paul Blart. These movies will kill your brain.

Dear Happy Madison Productions, we're starting to hate you
ArchonCinemaReviews27 April 2015
When a sequel of a bad movie is made, one must prepare themselves for the onslaught of awfulness to come. This is so of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.
Dear Sony, what ever compelled you to green light financing of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. We know you've been making a string of terrible decisions like mocking your talent in hacked emails, but we think Mall Cop 2 wins the award for top in stupidity.
Six years after saving the West Orange Pavilion Mall, Paul Blart gets invited to a conference for security professionals in Las Vegas. Basically the same nonsensical plot occurs as the last film, but this time its art thieves at the Wynn and Blart gets to call in some back up.
The team behind Get Hard should thank Kevin James and Happy Madison Productions for making the worst comedy of 2015. It all goes back to the abhorrent writing of the movie on behalf of James and his collaborator Nick Bakay.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is a kindergartener's version of what is funny actually in a movie packaged for adults. It has fat jokes, prat falls, and redundant re-writes from the original. I half expected James to bend down to pick up a gun and a fart to slip out.
If you like heinously stupid humor then you might not want to vomit after watching Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. The fact that this film could break even from the cost of producing this abomination is a testament to the idiocy of humanity.

Dear Sony, what ever compelled you to green light financing of Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. We know you've been making a string of terrible decisions like mocking your talent in hacked emails, but we think Mall Cop 2 wins the award for top in stupidity.
Six years after saving the West Orange Pavilion Mall, Paul Blart gets invited to a conference for security professionals in Las Vegas. Basically the same nonsensical plot occurs as the last film, but this time its art thieves at the Wynn and Blart gets to call in some back up.

Pure Fun

Now, of course this movie isn't going to be a blockbuster film, nor will it top the number one spot for movies. However, being 16, this movie made me CRACK UP, and die of laughter. Right off the bat, it gets you in tears of joy. This movie as mentioned above, isn't like Fast and Furious 7 crying, but a happy tear (RIP PW). PLOT: Paul Blart(Kevin James) returns in Mall Cop 2, yet he is sent to Vegas for a "Mall Cop Seminar", and when he is there, he discovers a covert operation, thieving art. This movie doesn't have the "Taken" fighting scenes, but more of a kid fighting style. Absolute perfection in the comedy department. AGE: This movie is honestly great for ALL ages, whether you're 64, or 6, this movie will make you laugh. RATING: I give this a 7/10, because well its Mall Cop... not the best plot/content/acting aside from Kevin James & David Henrie, but higher than the avg because it made me laugh, and I enjoyed myself. FINAL RESULT: I would recommend this movie to anyone looking for a fun night out, whether you're on a date, or a family movie night. Great Movie!
Paul Bart Mall Cop 2:Still Sucks

No Idea why people love it but this movie is much worst than Grown ups 2 or maybe just like Grown Ups 2.The jokes are forced out and so damn stupid.The trailer looks good I gave it a chance but I was terribly wrong the movie didn't do anything much to make me laugh it is a pain to watch it.They try too hard to make the audience laugh but it didn't work but there's some jokes that make me chuckle but nope it still hate this movie.The movie is forgettable and horrifically bad.I think it's time to stop making this kind of movie it's dumb and it's also tiresome.This movie is sadly the same as the first one nothing new to but it's just a rehash of the first film so If there is another movie or a sequel to this I'd better wait for it to be aired on television cause my money is not worth it.
Truly an excellent piece of art, one of the best

Perfect 10 is not a phrase I throw around often. However this movie truly deserves it. Kevin James of course reprises his deeply loved character once again and I couldn't be happier and honestly he delivers a performance on par with Robert de Niro in the godfather part 2. His character is complex and on many levels a hero. When I was younger I could only dream of having a movie such as this guiding me through my childhood. From the moment I see those segway wheels to the ending scene where Blart embraces death as a part of life and comes to terms with the fact his family died in a tragic fire while he was on duty, I was laughing and crying. This also has one of the best plots of a Kevin James film. *SPOILER ALERT* Paul Blart has all his escapades in what he believes to be las vegas. Unfortunately thats only a reality he created. As aforementioned Blart comes to terms with death etc. To further that This movie is actually a construction of Blarts despair filled mind. He went to vegas originally to drink and gamble his problems away until he fell into the deep depression. The very final scene is possibly one of the most tear-jerking scenes I have ever seen in cinema. Blart awakes and he walks through the graveyard where his family is buried. He breaks down in a flurry of tears before shooting himself in the head, thus joining his family. Truly this is an excellent film, worthy of its ten star rating #Blartforever
Paul Blarts Sad Days

I feel super bad for Paul, after like 5 seconds of the movie I'm so shocked that his Mom died and he got divorced and his Daughters going to college. I just feel so bad for him, he deserves a big hug.
I wished that I could go into the tv and give him a hug and say "It's okay I'll give you all the cake you want.

Segway crashes and content eating do not make Paul Blart a funny character or movie!

Comedy is not a science, but there is a technique that makes it funny. A lot of modern comedies like Knocked Up, This is the End, and The Interview (yes, I know all of these have Seth Rogan) work thanks to developed characters and smart jokes. Classic comedies had these moments as well, but one genre of comedy we rarely see anymore is slapstick. Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin were all master of creating large stunts that would evoke laughter for generations to come. Sitting on a train wheel as it's moving in motion? Hilarious! A factory worker that can't keep up with the strenuous machines? My sides are splitting!
Somehow, slapstick has become more associated with satire then with regular comedies. But since the genres have seemed to cross, parodies are no longer playing in theaters as many of the last features including Disaster Movie, Stan Helsing and Haunted House have shown to be unfunny. These kinds of slapstick movie fail because they go with the most obvious answers to the joke. Comedy is all about expectation, and if you can see what's coming, then your comedy is going to fall faster then your comic on a banana peal. I guess no one considered this for Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2.
Paul Blart (played by Kevin James) is still proud of having saved his New Jersey mall six years ago from the thieves that tried to take it over on Black Friday six years ago (from the first Paul Blart: Mall Cop movie). But the woman he married from the ending of the previous film divorced him after six days and a milk truck hit his mother. Two of the most important people have left him and he's about to lose a third; his teenage daughter Maya (played by Raini Rodriguiz) as she's been accepted into UCLA.
For his actions, Blart is invited to a security guards convention where he'll give the keynote speech. He accepts, knowing that he and his daughter need a vacation. They arrive at the Wynn Hotel where Blart meets with four other guards, Saul, Khan, Donna, and Gino, and makes tough chit-chat with the hotel staff. Blart finds out that he won't be making a speech after all, deflating his spirits. Things get worse as a bunch of international thieves are planning on steeling some fine art from the hotel, including a Van Gogh. The thieves kidnap Maya get and it's up to Blart to save the day again.
I never cared for the first movie and I really don't care for Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2. The movie was produced by Adam Sandler's Happy Madison company (this movie seemed to be ashamed by this as I did not see their logo in the opening credits), and it reveals why no one should be associated with this production house; high amounts of product placements, emphasis of gross out gags, and worse of all, unfunny material.
Perhaps Kevin James can be a funny actor, but he shows little interest here. Paul Blart is unlikable as a character and unamusing as a comedic personality. He spews jokes throughout the movie, yet not one joke made me laugh. NOT ONE! All he has is fat shaming jokes and food jokes. These are the kind of movies that set fat guys ten years behind, only saying that they eat and are lazy. I know plenty of fat people that are productive and find this movie repulsive. Even if a skinny actor had been cast, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 still wouldn't have worked as over protective father stories are not funny and even the heist is not interesting. I'll give credit that art is something that people don't steel in Vegas, but still, a missed opportunity.
I'll give this one broken Segway out of ten. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 1 and 2 are both so unfunny and lazy, that they belong in the seventy cent DVD bin at Wal Mart rather then a ten dollar cinema. Perhaps for Paul Blart 3, our hero will save people from a holdup at a Dunkin Donuts or something.

Bad cop
Prismark1027 June 2015
Superman II (1981)
For a Few Dollars More (1965)
The Godfather, Part II (1974)
The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Aliens (1986)
Lethal Weapon 2 (1989)
Terminator 2 (1991)
Toy Story 2 (1999)
These are all sequels worth watching. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 is not one of them.
This movie is a stinking pile of freshly laid horse manure. The first film was just about OK but here the character of Blart is smug, obnoxious, unappealing. He is more annoying as I recall from the first movie and star Kevin James co-wrote this film.
The only positive is you get some nice shots of the Wynn & Encore Hotels in Las Vegas. However legendary hotel magnate Steve Wynn must be bemoaning the slack security in his hotels if the plot of this film is to believed.
