Leaving Las Vegas

Directed by: Mike Figgis
Screenplay by:
Mike Figgis
Based on the book by: John O'Brien
Cinematography by: Declan Quinn
Editor: John Smith
Year: 1995




 

As much as I hate Nicolas Cage, his performance does make this a pretty amazing film. Elizabeth Shue seemed a little too self-conscious about her body to be a prostitute but otherwise her acting was great. Keep your eyes open for a cameo by French Stewart (3rd Rock from the Sun) in the beginning scene- it's really bizarre to see him in this kind of a film.

4 out of 5
