average flick

Rating: 3/10 (25 March 2008)

Basically the movie is a slick Hollywood production, exactly as you would expect; and that is not always a bad thing as throwing money at a film project is generally a good idea. Much of the acting is satisfactory. Kevin Spacey is a good actor. It was filmed at "Planet Hollywood" in Las Vegas, which until recently was the "Alladin". The problem is that this movie has about as much resemblance to (Card Counting / Blackjack / Casinos) as Johnny Depp's portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow's does to the real mouth- breathing knuckle-dragging seaborne psychopathic Neanderthals that we called pirates. I prefer my movies to be realistic if that is what they claim they are. It annoys me when that is not the case.
