A drama-ish movie starring Joe Pesci and Helen Mirren. The movie centers on a brothel, but it isn't sexy. And while it's kind of a comedy it isn't actually funny. Yep, it's an indy movie.
The story: a married couple runs a legal brothel in Nevada, but the husband wants to be more important so he sponsers a boxer thinking the boxer will help him become a big shot, but the wife and the boxer begin an affair and the boxer wants to get out of boxing and the wife is dying and runs away with the boxer, but the husband wants her back and...it goes on and on.
Was it good?
No. The married couple running a brother was okay, and the husband wanting to sponser the boxer was kind of interesting, but then the wife dying of cancer was weird and then her and the boxer running off and everything...it was like the movie started off on solid ground and then kept driving off a cliff again and again. I'm a fan of Mirren, but not for this movie.
