Bloody Nose, Empty Pockets

The movie and dive into the lives of these bar flies is fantastic! I love the story and watching people who love their neighborhood watering hole. However, this does not take place in Las Vegas. This bar has never existed in Las Vegas. There are a few pickup shots from the city, but everything else is filmed in Louisiana. As a Las Vegan born and raised, it took this movie from an 8 to a 5 very quickly. It's disappointing seeing a film try and fail so hard to capture what Las Vegas is really like.

I recommend it for the human side. Attempting to set it in Las Vegas takes away more than it adds once you see it's not a Vegas Bar.

Sure it was believable and entertaining, but finding out afterwards that it wasn't a real documentary, changed the way I viewed it. For better or worse.

They described it here as a feelgood film. It is not.

I love my London pubs but wish I was American or atleast eligible to come visit the states and it's dive bars.

Old school English pubs have a similar ambiance with drunks, middle class and has beens but there's something missing . The music culture perhaps or the vastness of the country which makes the bar a world of its own .. I'm still 258 characters short to leave a review so I want to ask where are the best dive bars in the states? New York? Vegas? Boston? Hopefully one day I can visit Rudys in NYC if it's still there. There are too many chains in the U. K. like Be At One and O'Neills, they aren't real bars.

How do I even begin to write this review? Just wanted to chime in and say this off beat film is about a bar in Las Vegas closing down. The whole film focusses on patrons to the bars - alcoholics, middle aged people, unhappy people, people complaining about their lives, what could have been - all well behaved despite their fragile undercurrent. Loved, loved it.
