Rating :7
Starring: Helen Mirren, Joe Pesci,Gina Gershon, Sergio Peris-Menchata
Genre: Drama
This is an interesting movie based on the lives of a man & wife who ran Nevada’s first legal bordello outside Reno in the 1970’s. Mirren displays her diverse acting skills as the belabored wife who manages the girls of the enterprise and cooks its books, while Pesci plays the crass wheeler-dealer owner. This is an unlikely match of actors but it works O.K. Pesci goes into the boxing promotion business and sponsors a young heavyweight from Argentina with unrealistic career hopes. Mirren develops an affection for the young man while she tries to work as his manager. Eventually Pesci loses the bordello and gets nabbed for tax evasion while Mirren’s life takes an unexpected turn at the end.
