Such a frustrating disappointment
Simply Perfect
Good concept, poorly executed.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
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.
I think this movie is great!The plot continues to leave the audience guessing what will happen next. Well drawn, the characters are thoroughly believable and brought to life through a cast of past, present and future stars. I especially love Stacy and Nick! Their relationship adds anther dimension to what might have otherwise turn out be just another Las Vegas heist flick! I recommend this movie to anybody who likes and good heist with a lot of action, twists and turns, mixed with a little romance that leaves you wanting to know where these characters are going and what happens to them next.
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.
You can tell some of these people are new actors. Not too sure about the producer and his "writing", seems more like stealing already done ideas. Action / Fighting scenes are really BAD. Not sure if its the new actors or production of how it was made, but probably some of the worst fight scenes I have ever seen. (very scripted)The strip club scenes are way over done and seemingly pathetic attempt to grab the male viewers attention that has wondered off during some of the cheesy action scenes.Ending is surprisingly good, but has been done before. Actors over all did a good job for being fairly new.
