There was something missing in this movie. Cheesy script, slow moving story, coupled with big budget effects and a cheesy ending. It could've been just the right kind of mindless shoot-em up action that Peter Weller and others in this film are perfect for. But, it wasn't.
This is the story of an ex-convict being released from prison the same day he and his wife are driving to Vegas to get a divorce. Unbeknownst to him, she's been in a relationship with an arrogant (but seemingly nice) casino and hotel owner who's casino is ironically being robbed (and not very well) of millions on the same night. This heist seems to go on forever and with a mounting body count of both the perpetrators and those trying to stop them, and once the owner's sidekick gets wind of it and the feds get involved, Peter Weller (1/2 of the soon-to-be-divorced spouses), who just wins a slot jackpot and wants to put the winnings in his wife's name, becomes a convenient scapegoat. Thus, this unbelievable cat-and-mouse chase beings. Only, the things that follow always seem just so convenient and without any real suspense.
The ending, of course, was the most laughable part with Weller, Carrerra (who plays his wife), and Hopper (who plays the owner) all duking it out on the wall of the Hoover Dam.
