SAINT JOHN OF LAS VEGAS Trailer And Poster
December 7, 2009RamaNo CommentsSaint John Of Las Vegas,
Steve Buscemi
Shosh told me to check out the trailer for SAINT JOHN OF LAS VEGAS which has been online for quite some time now and so I did and I’m glad I did because it’s got Steve freakin’ Buscemi, man! Mr. Pink! Donny! That’s all the excuse I need to watch this movie. Granted, the impression this trailer will give you is a big WTF, doesn’t explain much of the plot and maybe that is a good thing. By the way, little actor Peter Dinklage who plays the outspoken boss in this movie is an under-appreciated talent. The fact that the story is set in one of my favorite places in the world is just a bonus point. A town that holds hypnotic powers over you, a string of bad luck is just another day in Vegas. The problem is,. it’s a January movie. The poster is via Impawards, Watch the trailer after the jump…

Synopsis:
After a run of bad luck, John (Steve Buscemi), a compulsive gambler, runs away from Las Vegas and toward a normal job and life. Taking a nondescript position in an auto insurance company in Albuquerque, he tries to get ahead in the straight world, amid the ever-present temptations of scratch-off lotto tickets.
When his boss, Mr. Townsend (Peter Dinklage), asks John to accompany his top fraud debunker, Virgil (Romany Malco) on an investigation of a dubious car “accident” near Vegas, John sees an opportunity to get a promotion , though he’s concerned about returning to the gambling game. Before leaving he becomes involved with his eccentric co-worker Jill (Sarah Silverman), a dalliance that has the potential to become a real relationship.
Soon John is on the road with Virgil, where they encounter a series of offbeat characters, including a wheelchair-bound stripper (Emmanuelle Chriqui), a nude militant (Tim Blake Nelson), a park Ranger (Jesse Garcia), and a carnival human torch (John Cho). While Virgil is the supposed leader of the investigation, it’s John who begins to finally assert himself, pushing the case closer to a conclusion.
Through the journey, John’s confidence builds, and he realizes that he can’t escape his gambling addiction by running away from it—it will follow him wherever he goes. It’s only when he returns to Vegas and his experiences there finally send him on the path to breaking free.
First time writer/director Hue Rhodes’ SAINT JOHN OF LAS VEGAS follows the wild and funny trip a guy has to take to discover there’s more than one way to hit the jackpot in life.
