Comic casting and comic timing pay off in most scenes, with Dinklage landing the big laughs, Malco doing his wise-guy-talking-down-to-the-doofus patter and Buscemi just bugging out and reacting to the craziness.
Overview
Compulsive gambler John had finally beaten the habit, started a new life, and said farewell to Vegas for good... or so he thought. When his new boss sends him back to Sin City to investigate a shady insurance claim, all the chips are back on the table.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
It's a kind of cinematic purgatory, halfway between eternal reward and eternal damnation. The question is: What did I do to deserve such mediocrity?
Saint John of Las Vegas was a bad script that somehow got made into a bad movie with good people in it.
For all its clever quirkiness, the end product seems flat and over-thought, which isn't to say it's a bad first step for this ambitious novice director, just a long way from something that will set the world on fire.
This debut feature by Hue Rhodes offers a wealth of skilled players and admirably offbeat gags yet seldom manages to generate any laughs.
