- Quotes
Frankie O'Reilly: Yeah, well I still maintain gambling doesn't pay. And even if you win, you lose.
Jeff Jefferson: Not the way I play it. You see, I shoot for keeps.
Frankie O'Reilly: Well, that's not what I meant. Look, how often do you win when you gamble?
Jeff Jefferson: On occasion.
Frankie O'Reilly: But how often is that?
Jeff Jefferson: When I ain't losing.
Frankie O'Reilly: Well, you lose more than you win don't ya?
Jeff Jefferson: Naturally. Why should I be a "conception" to the rule?
This is another in the series of films that paired Frankie Darro and Montan Moreland as best friends. While some of the films were better than others, all of the films were enjoyable to some degree. For me this is one of the middle of the pack group, far from the worst in the series it never quite manages to reach the heights of some of the best (Up in the Air for example). Its a good little film that has a mystery/crime plot clever enough to keep you watching with a genuine interest in seeing how it comes out. I think my lack of affection for the film is simply the anemia of the budget which is revealed via reused rooms and an obvious photograph that serves as the background of a parking garage. The mystery and the repartee are such that you really wish that they had spent a couple of more bucks to make it look real.
Definitely worth your time, especially if you make it part of a multiple movie night (dare I say with other Darro/Moreland movies).
