Watchably cheap entertainment

"Hey Mom, can we watch Ocean's Nineteen?" "No, honey, we have Ocean's Nineteen at home" This is obviously the wishdotcom version of some classic casino heist movie. Think 'Heist' (2015 DeNiro, Jeffrey Dean Morgan et al) as a baseline for your casino-theft entertainment needs and you can probably conjure up a stratified list of the better-and-worse flicks to fill out the roster.

Problem is, It's hard to dismiss this film because it's so bad, it's kinda entertaining. Antonio Fargas and Eric Roberts are legends of the craft, but this Roberts is about as zero-calorie he can be as a villain and Fargas seemed to have four different people writing his character in the script that somehow got approved. Couple that with a cast full of 'that guys-n-girls' (who put the time in but aren't awe-inspiring), pretty bad choreography, some serious technical suspension of disbelief (or a crunchy candy coating of it over some lazy writing), and a content moderator that apparently was last employed as comics code enforcer for Marvel (1950s, not today), bake a little bit in development hell (guessing here) and you get "Plan 9 From Outer Space" meets "Heist": perhaps pretty campy, definitely not good enough to take seriously, but entertaining nonetheless.

Ocean's Lite

If not for some (incredibly, albeit minimal) surprise twists in the finale, Stealing Las Vegas is just a High School project remake of Ocean's Eleven.

Sure there's some female nudity and a spark of violence, but other than that this would've worked better on a stage in front of an assembly of kids.

While trying to throw too many plot points into a simple story of a robbery, Stealing Las Vegas just shows the plight of injured knee Nick and his PC-multi-race gang trying to get past basically one door in a failing Casino to nab twenty million from their clichéd bad casino boss.

I would hand it to these young (and old, sorry, Eric Roberts) kids by remaking Ocean's Eleven on a shoestring budget. But, their heart was hardly in it. Sure, they went through the motions and said and did what the script/director told them to do, but barely did I believe any of this world existed. Or, their performances.

In the days of Blockbuster Video past, if the Ocean's Trilogy was all rented out, I'd still recommend picking a different film or genre. Not worth anyone's time.

A mess of a film that makes me ashamed to live in vegas

A horrible... and I emphasize HORRIBLE film with such a messy plot and clearly an messy production. Not even Eric Roberts can save it. If you want an authentic Las Vegas set film, watch the Hangover.
