Let's be realistic.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Well, this low-budget-and-made-with-less-talent flick does have a good number of reasonably attractive women getting buck naked. That's largely offset, however, by the fact they're filmed with all the grace and eroticism of an industrial safety video for sewage plant workers. And despite all that nudity, there's only one halfway decent sex scene in the whole production. But I have to give writer/director Christopher Robin Hood credit for stocking his movie with a lot bare female flesh, because that's the only cotton pickin' thing this wet fart in a hurricane has going for it.Let me be blunt. The Casino Job is almost as low as you can go on the scale of motion picture quality. The only way something could be more poorly made than this would be if the entire film was out of focus and the soundtrack was non-stop white noise. The camera work here is brutally simplistic. The plot could be mistaken for a dog turd. The dialog has all the flair of a UPS truck. And the acting…oh, sweet Mary! The acting here is so bad that is you put this DVD on the shelf next to Glengarry Glen Ross, it would transform the Mamet masterpiece into Ernest Goes to Camp and turn Jack Lemmon into Jim Varney. I am not exaggerating for effect when I say this cast could not have done a worse job if car batteries had been hooked up to their genitals and they were randomly shocked while on screen. Oh, and for some reason, most of the dialog had to be redubbed after shooting was concluded, so when everybody talks they look and sound like Andie MacDowell in Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes.This is a Las Vegas heist movie, sort of like Ocean's 11 if 11 stood for the combined IQ of the filmmaker and his performers. A crew of strippers decide to ruin a casino boss, for reasons I won't bother getting into, and concoct a stunningly idiotic plan to do so that revolves around the strippers all being heartless whores and the people working at the casino all being blind and retarded. The plan works (surprise!) and the movie ends with the strippers all boinking various other characters, only to have another conclusion tacked onto the end of that which appears to have been an attempt to set up a sequel. If such a sequel is ever made, I will to go the home of Christopher Robin Hood, pour five gallons of kerosene over myself, ring the doorbell and when Mr. Hood answers, I will grab him in a bear hug and light a match.This movie sucks, and not at all in an entertaining way. It's like driving through Nebraska. There's nothing to react to and you can only hope you don't die before making it to the other side. The Casino Job is another example of cinematic fraud being perpetrated on the public. I suppose you can't blame Christopher Robin Hood, his cast or crew. Everybody wants their big show business break. But this piece of crap wouldn't get a passing grade in a community college filmmaking class and somebody still decided to put it out for unsuspecting people to buy or rent. That person needs to be sent to federal prison and made to bunk with a large gentleman named Jerome.

We rented this movie and "21" as preparation for a trip to Vegas in a few weeks for our friend's wedding and bachelor party. We tried "21" first and got about, maybe, 30 minutes into it and had to shut it off. Too damn slow! How is a movie about Vegas that boring? So, we popped in this flick and, low and behold, it was damn good. Well, it certainly got us jazzed about going to Vegas anyway. We laughed our asses off in several spots, especially at the end and the movie makes you want to run out to Vegas and rob the casinos...or at least win big! My girlfriend is cool and would probably like it, but there is a lot of nudity, so bear that in mind if your girl isn't as cool as mine! I figure "21" probably cost $50 million to make and this film was probably $1 million and ten times better so I give it a big thumbs up.

I thought the film overall was a decent one. Not the greatest but decent. You can totally tell it is a low budget film, yet does what it needs to do. Entertain. I watched it with my boyfriend and while there is a lot of nudity, that kind of stuff does not bother me. It had an entertaining story, somewhat likable characters, and some funny moments. Was it perfect? No, but it was decent for about an hour and a half. I would give it around a 6.5 on a 1-10 scale. If you get easily offended by nudity this is not for you. If you want a popcorn flick with good looking women and a fun story, pop it in. I think some of the people here expect too much from movies nowadays. It did not appear to have a huge budget. If this were a 10 million dollar film, OK then...i'd agree. But I think they did the best with what they had. The director seems to be new along with most of the cast. Decent job overall. Not perfect but decent. 6.5 out of 10 from me.

I got the chance to see this film at a sneak preview last week here in Las Vegas. It was a lot of fun and much funnier than I expected. The story is really good and entertaining and the robbery itself is original and very clever (although a bit complicated for someone who doesn't go to casinos). There were a number of twists toward the end that I never saw coming which always scores big points for me. The only two little criticisms I could name would be that one of the actors came across as a little weak and there was a decent amount of nudity that was probably not completely necessary. I was told by one of the crew that their budget was about the same as "Blair Witch". If that's true, this film was a GREAT accomplishment for the level they were able to achieve on that alone!
