Saint John of Las Vegas
A Las Vegas compulsive gambler (Steve Buscemi) runs off to Albuquerque to work for an auto insurance company and to avoid his addiction. However, fate returns him to sin city to investigate a possible fraud case. This off-beat comedy is full of off-beat characters, including a wheelchair-bound stripper, a nudist/militant, and a carnival human torch. The low budget potential sleeper turned out to be a real yawner for Alien. Is it public embarrassment that keeps John Cho’s face hidden during his scenes? If you can stand it, stay through the credits for final bows.
Alien gives it 1 ½ "happy face crazed girlfriend" stars out of 4.
