About this filmv
Two rival car lots in Las Vegas go to war with each other using dirty tricks and wild stunts to sell vehicles. It is a cynical comedy about greed and the dark side of the American dream. The look is bright and saturated, capturing the dusty desert heat and cheap neon signs of the late seventies.
