Stealing Las Vegas

"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.
