Boring remake of the original

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2002)

As a resident of Las Vegas I never thought a movie(even a remake)set in Sin city would be boring.Well I was wrong. This pathetic remake lacks the fun and sparkle of the Frank Sinatra original.It is boring,dull,flat and plain awful. George Clooney and Brad Pitt,try to look and be cool-it doesn't work baby! Next time sit down and watch the original Rat Pack at work and maybe you will learn what cool is. Terrible dialogue which lacks of any wit, acting which looks third grade,and as for the photography -they may as well have filmed all of the movie in Hollywood instead of Vegas - it just lacks any excitement.Even two old stagers in Elliot Gould and Carl Reiner cannot save this film,and as for Julia Roberts-where are you Angie Dickinson when we need a real female lead. Save your money and catch the 1960 version on cable.
