'Vegas needs a new king.' That, right there, is all you need to know plotwise of this ridiculously fun no-budget actioner.

Will remain an obscure and sequel-less cult classic, having achieved that status out of sheer weirdness rather than greatness.

Sometimes weirdness and originality in itself aren't enough.

So here's two good performers and a good idea, gorgeous camera work....and nothing else. The idea was funny but I thought it was executed poorly at times.
