Details

Passed over at work and numbed after she witnesses a colleague's murder, security guard Trixie Zurbo takes a relatively easy job at a lakefront casino, working undercover keeping an eye out for pickpockets. Trixie meets an assortment of colorful regulars: Kirk Stans, the casino's lounge act who drinks too much and is a dead-on mimic; Ruby Pearli , a glamorous, young and knowledgeable barfly; and Dex Lang, a raffish ladies' man who pays attention to Trixie in a way that's hard for her to ignore.

Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
gridoon Think about it: if you met someone who was constantly saying things like "I'm absolutely ravishing, where's the food?" or "does she have any relatives she might be related to?", would you laugh or would you just look in amazement, wondering what the hell is wrong with that idiot? The answer to that question will determine your reaction to "Trixie" as a comedy, since this misuse of well-known expressions and phrases is the movie's ONLY attempt at humor. It's a shame to find such an interesting actress as Emily Watson playing such an uninteresting character. There is also a mystery, and it's pretty tired, but it does offer one good surprise at the end, so I guess the movie earns a ** out of 4 rating.
ceolaf Emily Watson is a wonderful actress, capable of amazing things.This movie, on the other hand...I am not sure that there are words...This might be the worst film that I have ever watched without changing the channel. I only watched because I am that big an Emily Watson fan. But I've got to say, you needn't bother.
diamondscaffo Ok - I have to admit....this movie was painful. Just painful to sit there and take all those mixed metaphors like punches to the head. BUT...I stumbled across this movie on a Sunday afternoon. Never heard of it..no expectations, etc. And actually had a good time watching it. My wife hated it (so she says) but we both laughed and kept rolling our eyes at each other throughout the movie. It was like reading a trashy novel...the characters were total stereotypes (the young, good looking womanizer (trying to have a heart of gold), the drunk, corrupt senator (always grabbing ass, etc) and of course the favorite - the bumbling, almost moronic detective making it all happen -kind of like a female Inspector Clouseau only with less physical humor and more verbal humor. Some of the words that came out of her mouth were really funny - like "I woke up unconscious" and my personal favorite, "Do you think I have a ace up my hole?" I wouldn't go out of your way to see this movie but if you come across it one afternoon....see how long you can stand it :)
VENEZIADOGE This horrid movie is another year 2000 waste of film that combines the very worst of Rain Man and Striptease. Besides being a misdirected rip off of mostly bad movies itself, it goes absolutely nowhere. Watson is painful to watch here, and Nick Nolte speaks like a cross between Tommy Lee Jones in Natural Born Killers, Burt Reynolds in Striptease, and some non-descript tall southern/western bumbling gentleman. The dialogue here is supposed to be funny by delivering these annoying twisted one word punchlines at the end of sentences, and by being "comically" serious. Even worse is the detective character played by Watson, combined with the movie's 1:57 length. Although it's unwatchable, I'm not surprised after 10 Things I Hate About You, Being John Malkovich, Pearl Harbor, The Mexican, Hugo Pool, Snake Eyes, and the Matrix. Nick Nolte must really regret this one.
