Review of Leaving Las Vegas (1995) by Habibiehakim — 26 Oct 2021

Cage was amazing, yes he is weird and sometimes cringy but he was an alcoholic, he was drunk, and if his performance is bad I wouldn't get pretty emotional at his character, Leaving Las Vegas was personal, what I really like the most is that the movie completely focus on the couples, the girl have worked with her boss in the beginning and it could be a story and a problem but they just leave that fastly, the struggle that they show in the movie is so real that somehow you will care so much to a hooker and an alcoholic, the movie is pretty slow paced but it feels fast because the characterisation is done so well by Cage and Elisabeth Shue, overall, Leaving Las Vegas is amazing.
