Audience Reviews for Sex and Lies in Sin City: The Ted Binion Scandal

Oct 29, 2012

It was so-so. Entertaining enough to have on in the background while I worked on some other stuff.

Trashy but not totally unenjoyable. I actually did not know this story, so it was all new to me. Not sure if it is deliberately vague about whether she was guilty or not, or I just wasn't paying attention closely enough, but it is a bit up in the air. For a bit of brainless entertainment, it was okay, though.
