British director Stephen Frears returned to the US for this uninspired comedy. A former stripper finds her calling in Las Vegas where she gets herself entangled in the world of gambling. Based on the memoir by Beth Raymer, Frears wasted his talent on this forgettable tale that doesn't bring anything new or fresh to the genre. The talented Rebecca Hall stars with a decent performance while the supporting cast doesn't fare so well which includes Bruce Willis, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Vince Vaughn and Joshua Jackson. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
