Beystiman It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

ty-coon Sorry people but...Having gone to school in Vegas and being an actual runner this movie was a huge disappointment. When I found out that they had actually made the movie I thought this would be a pretty cool movie to view. How wrong could I have been? There was nothing in this movie that was even remotely accurate. If they had done ANY research in this movie they could have put together and interesting film however they chose to make one of the dumbest movies ever made in the history of film. I can normally live with a little artistic license but at least be a LITTLE accurate.STUPID and LAME. Don't bother watching this film.

tpendleton This is a movie about making bad decisions. Ed continually gets himself in trouble because he can never make a right decision. Every time he puts himself in a position of getting out of a jam, he puts himself in a deeper jam by making another poor decision. I got so frustrated by Ed's actions that I found myself jumping up and down in front of my TV screaming at it. If anyone wants to learn a lesson or two about the consequences of your actions, this is the movie for you.

tmeade This is a great movie, John Goodman is great, if you like John Goodman this is a movie not to miss. I give this movie 10 stars on the fact is was a hard movie to play, I feel the actors in the movie gave it there best, and you feel like you are in the movie. I can't tell you too much it will take away from the movie.

swttooth I rented this movie the day it was available for rental, being the avid Courteney Cox Arquette fan that I am. This movie's first impression screams to the watcher to stop your VCR and ask for your money back. Fortunately it picks up about ten minutes into the beginning. The introductory credits made me wonder what exactly I had gotten myself into.The first real dialogue of the movie is mainly swearing, but this only gets worse.Fortunately, as soon as Karina(Courteney) enters the scene it definitely picks up.It's kind of like "enter perfect love obsession of geeky main character".After the initial introduction and conflict this movie gets much better. Everytime the character flubs up, I grimaced, waiting for the impending fate given by "Deepthroat" aka John Goodman. I was held to the ending, praying when the screen got dark each time that it was not the end of poor Edward. Luckily, each time I was once again greeted by the entrance of yet one more scene.I recommend this movie to anyone who has a long attention span. The first time I almost cried at the ending. Then I was compelled to watch it yet another time. The second viewing was much more entertaining. Maybe it was knowing the resolution or just being able to fast forward through the slow parts--I don't know. My advice: watch it twice.The camera angles of this movie were well chosen and styled. The flashes of scenes and the loud rock music accompanying it emphasized the action of Vegas, and also the danger of the character's position in his "game."The acting was yet another good thing. Courteney made the 'labor scene' extremely effective. She def did her homework. John Goodman also plays an excellent bad guy. Down to the way he lays on the couch to lighting up his ciggy at the end. While this movie is slow in some places and slightly low-budget, it deserved a little chance in the theatres.
