Ren had withdrawn his entire life savings, and now it's time to try his luck in Las Vegas with his best friend Sing in tow. After foolishly challenging the most respected card shark in town, Ren is devastated to find that everything he ever own has been wiped out in one flash of the cards. When Ren's car crashes on the road back to Los Angeles and Sing is killed, a message left on his answering machine offers an ominous warning not to return to the flashy desert oasis. Now determined to find out just why his innocent friend had to die, Ren ignores the message and returns to Vegas to settle the score with the man responsible for Sing's death. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Joe Baltake, Sacramento Bee
Vera's three actors -- Mollà, Gil and Bardem -- excel in insightful, empathetic performances.
-
Charles Ealy, Dallas Morning News
Tell yourself it's OK to be jealous. Go ahead and mock poor Alberto.
-
Patrick Z. McGavin, Chicago Tribune
Extremely well acted by the four primary actors, this is a seriously intended movie that is not easily forgotten.
-
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer
With the film's striking ending, one realizes that we have a long way to go before we fully understand all the sexual permutations involved.
-
Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter
The sort of picture in which, whenever one of the characters has some serious soul searching to do, they go to a picture-perfect beach during sunset.
