High Rollers

This is a highschool production, right? RIGHT!? I've seen toddlers in Christmas plays act better and I've seen homeless hobos write better and I've seen dogs direct better. Don't waste your finite, limited and priceless time watching this 'movie'.

Seriously Hollywood must stop funding these F movies for Failed Hollywood stars attempting "comebacks' that will never ever under any circumstances happen because oh I don't know there's a reason they failed. In this case lack of talent, too much interest in a CIA funded 'religion' (scientology) and a complete lack of common sense (of whoever thought funding this 'movie' as a producer was a sensible use of however much this thing cost.)

After narrowly escaping a whirlwind of a heist, mastermind Mason (John Travolta) has retired from the criminal world with his gang of thieves and the love of his life, Decker (Gina Gershon). Their happy days are short lived when Decker is kidnapped by the notorious Salazar, bent on extracting revenge on Mason. Mason has no choice but to execute a risky heist inside a luxurious South American casino, putting him and his crew on a collision course with rivaling criminal syndicates and the FBI

This is a case of it is soo awful I was actually entertained by the stupidy. If ya wanna watch something so bad, break out some popcorn and have some laughs.

If you want a reason to gouge your eyes out, watch this movie. Horrible plot and corny acting. A horrible soap opera. Literally would rather sit on a plane with a screaming baby puking next to me. I am questioning how someone could make this horrible of a movie. Staring at a wall is more entertaining. I would rather drink toilet water than watch this movie. Waste of time and money. I think a kindergarten musical would be a better use of time. I strongly advise that you avoid watching this movie again all costs. An experience I wish I could forget. How could this movie be so horrible within the decent cast? I don't know.

High Rollers falls apart on nearly every level. The plot is incoherent, riddled with logic gaps, and full of characters who behave in ways that make no sense. Dialogue is stiff and unnatural, leaving emotional moments feeling forced or laughable.

Visually, the film is uninspired. The camera work is flat, the pacing drags, and the editing feels clumsy - scenes either overstay their welcome or end abruptly. Add to that a mismatched, overbearing soundtrack and awkward sound design, and the result is a movie that never finds its rhythm.

But perhaps the biggest letdown? John Travolta. I had hoped to remember him for his legendary role in Pulp Fiction, not for this hollow performance in High Rollers. Watching him stumble through this mess is disheartening - like seeing a former champion trip over his shoelaces in the first round.

Honestly, after sitting through this film, I'm pretty sure I'll be having nightmares - not from the plot, but from how excruciatingly bad it all was.

Final verdict: High Rollers is a painful watch. Unless you're a glutton for cinematic punishment, avoid it. Your time - and your memory of John Travolta - deserves better.

This is by far the best thing Travolta has come out with since he did "The Boy In A Plastic Bubble." This star has proved he has a great future ahead, and his co-stars in the movie only elevate the story to another level!. The effects, the storyline, the actors were all spot on - can't wait for the next instalment in this series of Cash Out and High Rollers - I'm sure it will surpass even these two! Sorry to see the end credits note on producer Sean Stone, he will truly be missed and had definitely shone brightly in the world of Hollywood movies. This could be similar to the "Oceans" series, maybe Travolta could even bring favorites like Pitt and Clooney onboard to spice up the genre? Who knows? Kudos to all who came together to make this a great movie - keep them coming!
