A struggling couple (Diana and David) on the verge of losing their home and investments hit Las Vegas to try out their luck. Just like most gambling experiences in real life, they started out winning, and then they stretched their luck and lost everything. Down and out, they had an encounter with a billionaire (Robert Redford) at the casino. After Diana (Demi Moore's character) helped him win a million dollars, he invited them for dinner. During their discussion later that night, the rich man brought up the theory that money could buy any and everything. Diana and David didn't agree with him. To test his theory, he offered to pay them a million dollars if Diana could spend a night with him.
They were offended by the offer, and told him off. But they both couldn't sleep that night considering all the problems the money would solve in their life. After a brief discussion, Diana and David decided to take the offer...which ended up tearing them apart.
Robert Redford's cool demeanor throughout the movie while trying to get what he wanted really made this movie for me. His acting is A Plus. This movie would make any couple think of what they would do if they were in Diana and David's shoes, and deep down in their hearts, they would fear the decisions they would make. As much as the couple in this movie loved each other, money was able to tear them apart. Even though LOVE won in the end, MONEY proved how powerful it could be. This is a movie that would be greatly enjoyed by more matured people. Teens looking for a 'sweet' Hollywood love story might not like this. This movie is closer to what happens in a real life relationship (it is not a happily ever after story). This is a very good romance drama, with all the highs and lows of love on full display. I would give it a 9 out of 10 in rating.
