There are so many things that could have gone well with this movie, and I believe they had the cast to pull it off.
Young boy falls for girl, he loves magic. Moves to Las Vegas and starts stripping... Girl falls for jerk... Good foundation.
The bad.
Tiffany Haddish was a wreck, her humor is crass and ineffective, so she goes for shock with super inappropriate language that doesn't fit and is just uncomfortable.
Wesley Snipes character is effeminate. Not sure why, but it didn't bide well with me.
The rest of the show was OK, but those two pieces wrecked the movie and made it more so a "gotta get through this", rather than a "I don't want this to end" type movie.
Spence Moore did a great job and was entertaining. Bill Bellamy was awesome. J. B> Smoove was funny as ever. Faizon Love was as funny as he ever was.
Kevin Hart had a small part, super insignificant and not worth mentioning.

I went into this movie wondering if Denzel could still be strong in this role, I was soon reminded that when you're a great actor, the rest just falls into place. This movie was written very well.
I must add that while I don't know much about Andrea Scarduzio, I want to know more now. He did a great job in his role as Vincient. Dakota Fanning is never a disappointment, and she of course carried her weight very well in this movie as well. While I only call a couple actors out, the entire cast did a great job.
The story of course follows Robert McCall (two c's and two l's), who is about to retire and smell the roses, only the roses are being attacked by bad people. I won't go much further than to say that this somewhat predictable plot managed to keep me interested and even had a little surprise in the end.
The movie takes place in Italy, so we not only get a great movie, we get great scenery and environment. This movie was good enough that I watched it twice.
