Review of Guns, Girls and Gambling (2012) by Tony Eddard S — 04 May 2013
Slow first half with a second half full of nicely pulled off twists. Loved 'The Blond'. She was the best character out of all of them. Christian Slater pulled off another narration/main character just like he did in Kuffs, a damn good underrated comedy-action movie.
Gary Oldman was great as the Elvis Elvis, too bad it was such a small roll. The midget 'little person' was the same one from Bad Santa and he made the film even more enjoyable to watch. I didn't care too much for the 'gay elvis' played by Chris Kattan.
He was very hit and miss in SNL and a complete miss in this movie. Matter of fact, his character was completely useless and didn't really impact the movie at all. Asian Elvis had a really funny part in Elvis Elvis's apartment with John Smith (Christian Slater's character) and the girl next door.
The girl next door ended up being The Rancher's (Played by Powers Booth, another small roll) daughter and she was ok over all. I usually can't stand Dane Cook at all. He is one of the most annoying comedians and an even more worthless actor than Chris Kattan.
However, his roll as one of the sheriffs was on par with the girl next door. Did I like the movie? Yes I did. If the second half was exactly like the first half, I would have given it 2.5 stars. But the second half of the movie makes it worth watching and deserves an additional 1.
5 stars. So I award this slow, actionish, comedy-like movie 4/5 stars.
