This film was one of the biggest surprises in the last 2 years given the bad ratings on IMDb. It just seems people have no clue how to handle a self ironic movie making fun about itself.

Not every movie with good old fashioned music and edgy characters is a Tarantino rip off! Hands down this movie is close to being brilliant, it got everything you expect from it and yet you will end up completely surprised.

The ending will proof to you that it was thought through scene by scene and if you can oversee the bad ratings and watch it with an open mind you will love it.

First of all, I must admit that my expectations to this movie was not at the higher end of the scale. However, it turned out that director and director Michael Winnick managed to pull off quite a surprisingly nice movie, and an entertaining movie at that too.

I was initially interested in watching the movie because of the cast, which included Gary Oldman, although in a minor role only, unfortunately. But it also had Christian Slater in the lead role, and he actually carried his weight quite nicely.

The storyline was quite interesting, as it was fast paced, had a really solid script, and the storyline was really unpredictable. And most of the times, the twists and turns that the story took just makes you go "what just happened?" And it worked out so well in favor for the movie.

Writer Michael Winnick has also managed to create some very good, witty and interesting dialogue for the characters in the movie. And that really helped the movie to stay fresh and interesting, if that is an appropriate term for such. Lots of great chatter and banter back and forth between the various characters.

And then, of course, there was the acting. As I stated earlier on, they had a great cast ensemble whom did really good jobs with their given roles and characters. And this was true from both the lead and supporting cast.

"Guns, Girls and Gambling" was a genuinely entertaining movie that really turned out to be a nice surprise. If you haven't already seen the movie, then I can warmly recommend that you take the time to sit down to do so.

Someone has stolen a valuable Native American mask stolen during a Elvis impersonator poker game at a casino. Now everybody is hunting all the Elvises in search of the mask. Writer/director Michael Winnick can't quite elevate this more than an overstylized B-movie indie. At least it seemed to enjoy the sarcastic tone of the movie.

I am surprised at how many big time actors are in this movie. I'm not sure how he got Christian Slater to star as the lead. He's quite effective by filling the screen with his manic energy. Then they got Powers Boothe, Chris Kattan, and OMG!! Gary Oldman to take minor roles. Sure they're stuck with a guy like Dane Cook. But Megan Park does a nice Girl Next Door 'Look Behind You' character.

The story is a rolling twisty roller coaster. The production value is quite low. At least Helena Mattsson is squeezed into this hot outfit as The Blonde. If the convoluted story doesn't blow your mind, her boobs will.
