Leaving Las Vegas (1995)
Rent Leaving Las Vegas on Amazon Video
Written by: John O'Brien (novel), Mike Figgis (screenplay) / Directed by: Mike Figgis / Starring: Nicolas Cage, Elizabeth Shue / Rated: R
Plot:
Set on drinking himself to death, Ben Sanderson befriends prostitute Sera. They both agree to accept each other for who they are.
Review:
This is Pretty Woman meets Nicolas Cage. A hooker with a heart of gold and Cage playing a drunk.
Cage had it all and has managed to lose it all. His solution to his problems, drink himself to death in Las Vegas. The city should put that on post cards.
Have you ever fantasized about Elisabeth Shue? Someone making this movie did. She's the hooker. Cage and Shue face off, forming a relationship on ignoring their respective problems. What could go wrong with that? Exactly what you'd expect. They split because one's a hooker and the other's a drunk. Didn't see that coming.
This movie sucks!
