Instant Classic-- In the Lineage of Goodfellas and Big Lebowski
18 January 2019
In the character-driven lineage of such classics as Goodfellas and Big Lebowski, and True Romance; Walk to Vegas features a brotherhood that operates on an informal black market economy that is impervious to the rules of law other than the innate sense of honor established through direct eye contact, firm handshakes, and camaraderie; a den of high-stakes Hollywood gamblers continuously engaging one another in ever-more outrageous ante-upping dares and bets, that culminate in our protagonist, Vincent VanPatten's attempting a walk from LA to Vegas in seven days in a suit! The characters of the instant classic-- played by such greats as Eileen Davidson, Jennifer Tilly, Danny Pardo, Paul Walter Hauser, and James VanPatten, are straight out of Cervantes; the result: pure comic genius!
