I was surprised about this film's rating. I ordered the NR (Not Rated) version, I get an R version with no cussing but a 'gratuitous' bedroom scene that was totally unnecessary. What's up with that? Synopsis: Detective Jack Newland (the ever-handsome Louis Mandylor) is sent to Vegas from Florida after narrowingly escaping having his badge pulled because of a drug bust involving other men on the force. He was clean but there was speculation. He now has to find operation books of a casino owner & decide whether to hand them over to the Feds or to someone else & make off with the cash he bargained for, girlfriend in tow. He does the right thing in the end.
Note: Didn't like the way said girlfriend threw herself at him down at the pool as soon as he gets into town & the 'gratuitous' scene could've been toned down a lot more. He does so much in 24 hours, you'd think he'd be exhausted. And isn't it hot in the Las Vegas desert?!? Then WHY do they dress him up in a tweed jacket, long sleeve shirt & tie?!? His character wouldn't come off a lot better, more 'in charge' if he would have been dressed more casual like with kind of a Miami Vice feel. And what's with the ugly goggle shades at the end of the film when driving away in the big red Cadillac?!? He should have kept the ones he had in the beginning of the film. They were way cool.
