A Las Vegas gentlemen's club is letting patrons play video games with their favorite stripper, similar to the Oscar-nominated film Anora.
The Last Showgirl
![]()
PRAISE: I've been to Las Vegas many times,and I've definitely crossed paths with people like the characters in this film. The cocktail waitress with the nice smile handing me drinks as I sat at a slot machine, or shimmering Showgirl dancing around on a stage. I've also seen how Vegas is changing seemingly every day as a Casino is torn down and a decades long Vegas show suddenly shuts down. I liked how i went through the aforementioned with the characters particularly Showgirl Shelly (Pamela Anderson) and casino waitress Annette (Jamie Lee Curtis)both actresses give very strong performances. Shelly chafes at what being a showgirl has become. She basically feels what she's been doing for many years is classy like Playboy magazine not leaning into the raunchy like some current performance spaces are demanding. I really enjoyed the slow reveal of her characters personality, from time of being ultra irresponsible, her disconnect from people, particularly and especially with her daughter Hannah (Billy Lourd) Anderson and Lourd are great in a gut punch of emotions scene together. It's also how Shelly chose to do certain things in her life that lead to some eye opening moments. The rest of the cast including Brenda Song ,Jodie Kiernan Shipka, and Dave Bautista have some good soulful moments.
PROBLEMS: Definitely some predictable moments. I knew a scene of the reality of Shelly's career reaching its end game was coming even though it had some nice raw emotion to it. As a whole I thought the movie would be a bit more solid with more to take in but at times it felt like I was just getting glimpses of characters. The movie reminded me of 2008's The Wrestler but it was far more compelling than this film.

PRAISE: This is one of those movies in which I managed to suspend disbelief as the foundation of the movie was being laid. The story about A U.S. marshal taking a small plane to transfer a government witness to New York has its moments. Mark Wahlberg as the "Pilot" was fun to watch. Looking like Fred Ward from 1990s Henry and June, Wahlberg looks like he's having the most fun snarling,joking and threatening his way through the 90 minute movie. Topher Grace as Winston is also does well as a jittery witness. As U.S. Marshal Madelyn Harris Michelle Dockery was pretty good in several scenes as truths are revealed and trusts are questionable. There is a standout semi gory moment. The cramped quarters of the small plane are put to good use visually. The most exciting part of the film is the climax. I liked what was done visually as all of the stops were pulled and then some.
PROBLEMS: In such cramped quarters on a small plane i dont know how certain actions were not noticed.The movie definitely isn't action packed or even suspenseful. Everything was definitely saved for the climax. There are far to many on the nose predictable moments. The movie just didn't give me enough. It's one of those movies people can kill time with and won't remember much about it and day or two later.
