    Great performance and an amazing recreation of 1980 Las Vegas

    I went to see The Vortex during its limited run in Los Angeles not realizing the story would play out against the backdrop of the 1980 MGM Grand Hotel fire in Las Vegas, but I left very impressed with the execution by Richard Zelniker and the performance by Billy Gardell.

    Zelniker presents a narrative that swirls with an intoxicatingly dizzying effect, telling a cautionary tale of a comedian, Pete, played by Gardell, struggling with gambling debt and admittedly in too deep with underworld associate and friend, Jimmy, played by Christopher Titus. The complicated dance that plays out from the beginning as Jimmy comes to collect is heightened by the passage of time as well as the eerie occurrences which give way to many jackpots throughout the night, spurred by repeat visits from a Paiute woman (Emily Alabi) on the casino floor. As Pete's desperation increases, the Steadicam shots seem faster, creating a vortex-like effect from which the film draws its name, only slowing as he addresses his shortcomings through conversations with other casino patrons and attempts to take control of his fate.

    The film's commitment in its depiction of characters searching for redemption through gambling provides the a near-perfect level of dissonance and in turn evokes a sinking feeling through the last act.

    The picture gives me hope that independent film will live on with convincingly good quality and is proof that period pieces are possible at any level. I believe it to be a must-see for audiences seeking heavy handed character-driven films.

    Great Execution

    Richard Zelniker takes a bold swing with this minimalist portrait of a deeply wounded gambling addict - and it pays off. Tackling such emotionally fraught subject matter is no small feat, but what makes this film especially daring is the way it's executed. Zelniker leans into long takes not as a stylistic flourish, but as a way to immerse us in the character's unraveling world, capturing the relentless tension of the casino and the claustrophobia of addiction. The result is a film that's both gripping and haunting. I found myself on edge throughout, fully engaged, and constantly curious where it would go next. A gutsy and impressive piece of work. Bravo!

    A Refreshing Take

    If you're looking for something different and unique to cleanse your movie palate, look no further than, "The Vortex".

    Co-written and directed by Richard Zelniker, this "Birdman" meets "The Gambler" takes us through a substory to the infamous MGM Grand fire of 1980 in Las Vegas.

    Starring Billy Gardell as Pete, a down on his luck standup comedian with an un-ruly gambling addiction who thinks all his debt/problems can be solved with one pull of slot machine lever.

    This film hooks you from the get go with its eerie ambience and lonesome tone right out the gate. Looming in our thoughts are the inevitable and catastrophic outcome we know of the fires that took the lives of 87 people and injured over 700.

    The anticipation only builds not knowing where this story will take us with only just a few hours before the devastation. The intensity builds like the inferno that's coming with each passing character that engages Pete on the slots. Pete's a very likable guy but likes alone won't save him with the people he's mixed up with. With each coin inserted and crank of a lever, Pete's time and money is running out. Will his luck run out, too?

    I highly recommend this movie if you appreciate good writing, swiftly flowing and moving cinematography, a beautifully composed score and great acting. (Seriously, every actor in this movie crushed it!).

    Zelniker delivers a delight where indie films are much needed during these unforeseen times in the entertainment industry. It's an example of how to make an indie film that's rich with creativity and non-conformity. We desperately need more films of this structure and nature for the industry to thrive. Hopefully "The Vortex" will influence other filmmakers to go all in and lay their cards out there for something they believe in.

    So follow my suit and check out, "The Vortex". It's a jackpot!

    Beautifully shot and well-acted

    The chemistry that Billy Gardell finds with this film's entire cast, despite his character's flaws and addictions openly on display, is incredible. Feels like a theatrical production in the best way given the caliber of acting, blocking, and interplay between static and dynamic camera movement. Richard Zelniker has done something special with this one! The gritty Vegas atmosphere is well-invited by the opening fire sequence and the claustrophobic pit scenes. The pacing is careful but engaging and it feels like we're glimpsing something we shouldn't as Gardell spirals down the proverbial vortex. Overall great watch!

    My Favorite Movie I've Seen This Year!

    I LOVED this movie! It delves into relationships, addiction, and redemption in a way that feels both intimate and thrilling. The opening of the film immediately caught my attention as I found myself eager to know what was coming next. The unique setting of mostly taking place in one room created a sense of closeness allowing me feel more connected to the characters, especially Pete. As the story unfolded, I found myself rooting for Pete, hoping he would hit that jackpot. I was fully engrossed in each characters story finding them all relatable in one way or another. If you're looking for a film that will not only keep you on the edge of your seat but also immerse you in its characters' lives, making you feel like a part of their struggles, this is the one for you!
