The Worst Film Ever
One of my all time favorites.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Stone (Nicolas Cage) and Waters (Elijah Wood) are Las Vegas cops and certainly not their finest. Dave Waters likes prostitutes and drugs. Jimmy Stone, is straight, a bit inept, and lives with his dad. Jimmy comes across a bail receipt for a bar back for $200,000 cash. Upon investigation they discover one of the most secure vaults in Vegas as this turns into an "Ocean's Two" as our cops coldly go rogue.This was not your typical cop team. They are not tough guys nor overly clever. The film was quirky funny when you consider the situation and dialogue. The two seemed to be miscast by design as everything is amiss, Guide: F-word, sex, nudity (Sky Ferreira)
Another deep dive into Netflix has yielded a surprising little gem that starts lighter and funnier than I expected, before sliding into a mess of lies and death. Cage and Wood have great chemistry, bolstered by the sharp patter in the script. It's a steady snowball of tragedy whose plot isn't quite shocking but has plenty of unexpected turns around each corner.
I had a hard time following this movie. The Vegas PD must be furious that cops on their force were portrayed in the movie to be bad cops. The Vegas PD goes to great lengths to find cops that are not likely to fall to temptation in sin city. That aside, why would Cage so casually pick Wood to be his accomplice when he had carefully planned the big heist.
Sergeant Waters (Elijah Wood) and his boss Lieutenant Stone (Nicolas Cage) work evidence collection in the general corruption of the Las Vegas Police Department. Stone is tired of the mild incompetence of the force. A secret drug stash inside a car engine leads to an excessive $200k bail receipt. Stone recruits Waters to find this petty criminal and the source of the cash. They discover a mysterious vault in the back of a grocery store.It's a fun little crime drama black comedy. Wood and Cage work well together as a corrupt buddy cop duo. Cage is having a bit of fun at the expense of Wood. Trust is a hard thing to come by in this movie and that keeps the audience from fully rooting for them. It would have solidified their relationship if they're family or childhood friends. It never occurs to me why Waters would ever trust Stone in this caper. Nevertheless, there are some humorous darkness that makes this worthwhile. The last act is muddled which keeps this from being great.
