Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Manthast Absolutely amazing
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
Philip Antwi It's really sad to see prominent faces in the industry give out their worst in making this movie a complete washout! kudos Eric Roberts! You've succeeded in bringing forth a huge chunk of crap. I couldn't believe my eyes and ears. Really???In fact reviewing this movie is even a waste of time. I would never wish a movie of the sort for my enemy. I feel really used cos my time spent watching this lopsided thrash-kit cannot be retrieved. I need to get back to my books and pray i never chance on any of these actors ever in my life. Lame lame lame!!! That's all i can say. Flashing of tits???seriously??? A movie that fails to carry out a meaningful plot to its viewers but rather tries lurking around our thoughts with nudity. In a nutshell, the movie was a complete failure
kmancha The movie had a familiar plot, with a younger twist (than say Ocean's Eleven as it has been compared to). The characters were developed, providing background & substance to most of the characters. The plot was weaved together well with each character's personal plights connecting them to each other and their pursuit of money & fairness. Given it is a student production, there are limitations in special effects, but the acting was enjoyable. I found the characters likable and real. The last 30 min had to be the best, I had no expectations for the ending and found myself smiling at the twist. The actors brought a variety of emotional tones, matching the storyline well, giving the audience a love story, drama and suspense.
thesar-2 If not for some (incredibly, albeit minimal) surprise twists in the finale, Stealing Las Vegas is just a High School project remake of Ocean's Eleven.Sure there's some female nudity and a spark of violence, but other than that this would've worked better on a stage in front of an assembly of kids.While trying to throw too many plot points into a simple story of a robbery, Stealing Las Vegas just shows the plight of injured knee Nick and his PC-multi-race gang trying to get past basically one door in a failing Casino to nab twenty million from their clichéd bad casino boss.I would hand it to these young (and old, sorry, Eric Roberts) kids by remaking Ocean's Eleven on a shoestring budget. But, their heart was hardly in it. Sure, they went through the motions and said and did what the script/director told them to do, but barely did I believe any of this world existed. Or, their performances.In the days of Blockbuster Video past, if the Ocean's Trilogy was all rented out, I'd still recommend picking a different film or genre. Not worth anyone's time.
gilwirt Solid enough acting, et cetera; plot resembles other films to some degree, but end and message are unique; 'especially nice is that the fascist exploitation(the bad guy has a thing for taking photos of people for unsavory reasons, that much of a plot-spoiler I throw in for possible motive to watch: exploitative people generally are evil, but those types are bottom of the barrel). Hopeful sentiment(the poor can vanquish the greedy/evil) is one all to need to consider. The actors are generally unknown, and all skilled enough to consider "good"; the writing is decent(the topless/stripper stuff feels like extra baggage, but is not too-excessive); the direction has some fascinating angles/choices; the low scores given by reviewers seems bizarre.
