Movies

If you love movies with a bunch of twists, this is a wonderful movie. Up until the very end you are wondering what/who is what/who... It is a suspense filled movie with some well known actors and actresses, which is why I thought I would watch it. I had never heard of the movie, but was glad I watched it. I like Gary Sinise and he does a good job with his role in this movie. I like seeing the scenery and the casino, not sure if the movie was filmed on location, but it sure looked like it was. If you like fast paced action it is a good movie. If you are looking for something high brow, you may want to pass... It is just a good movie for the sake of a good movie. And I like the ending, and never saw it coming!

After assuming his dead cellmate's identity to get with his girlfriend (Charlize Theron), an ex-con (Ben Affleck) finds himself the reluctant participant in a casino heist.On top of the excellent Ben Affleck, we get Danny Trejo (before his big break), and Gary Sinise as hard core as he has ever been. This may be his finest role (with all due respect to Lieutenant Dan). All around some fine roles and casting.The film also has more than a few twists and turns. Who is working for who? Is anyone who they really claim to be? You will never know until the final shot...As far as Affleck Christmas movies go, this is probably the best. Sure, "Surviving Christmas" has its moments, but what a bunch of junk compared to this action flick.

If you've got a sense of humour ,you'll like this. Great cast and performanes. Senise mean mugging. Aflecks one liner from hell. Theron manipulating. Awesome xmas flick 8/10
