Synopsis

This agreeably quirky TV-movie crime caper offers up a juicy role for Roy Scheider. He plays a Vietnam vet barely making a living at a Las Vegas casino, who strikes up a friendship with prostitute Sonia Braga. When one of her punters, carrying half a million in cash, dies suddenly, she persuades Scheider that they should take the money and gamble on a new life for themselves. Writer/director Frank D Gilroy neatly blends black humour with more straightforward action and is rewarded with engaging performances from his two leads.
