Review of Leaving Las Vegas (1995) by Aaron C — 01 Jul 2008
Nick Cage & Elisabeth Shue give outsanding performaces in this hard to watch movie about a business man who is falling downhill as an alcoholic due to losing his wife and kid in a divorce then loses his job because of drinking. She is a hooker living in Las Vegas w/ her pimp. Who by the way I hate sooo much played wonderfully by Julian Sands (Aracnaphobia).
Ben and Sera (Cage and Shue) meet in the streets of Vegas and he wants to drink himself to death and it turn into messed up romance.
Some of the things that Cage does in this movie is unbelieveable. To prepare for his role he drank for 14 days strait. He won the Oscar for this role and totaly deserved it!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope his liver is alright........
