Watched this nice little sunday afternoon family sci-fi feature. Directed by Matthew Robbins (Dragonslayer, The Legend of Billie Jean)and written by Mick Garris. It was ok, like a long Amazing Stories episode.

Percy Doolittle (Barry Hickey) is a nerd who thinks that he has invented a new mathematic theory which helps him to win lots of money in Black Jack (the card game u know) His almost girlfriend Amanda and other classmates give him money so he can make a trip to Vegas and prove that his theory works. Percy wins big and suddenly there´s hot girls everywhere and couple of small time crooks hanging with him. No more glasses, new clothes, cool haircut, fancy girls, limousines and champagne. Percy is the talk of the town but how long will it last?
Some cool tunes, Hot red Corvette and typical Las Vegas neon signs. Not nearly among the best of it´s genre but enjoyable enough.

After some comments about Chuck Norris' "Silent Rage" in some other posts, I couldn't help but watch it again. The killer is still as creepy as I remembered. Chuck's partner attempts to provide some comic relief...but doesn't really do a good job....I think this movie could have donewithout humor. all in all....still a good flick....cheesy....but good!
