Review

Two man goes to the trip to Las Vegas. They have journalistic purpose on their trip, but it does not seem to go well on that side since whole trip is full of drugs and madness.

This movie is somehow hard to say if this is more a comedy or some sort of horror (in very loose terms) since it is comedial in same sense that the The Hangover, but in the same time it would feel horror to experience any of that kind of behaviour in real life myself - or even witness if somebody would be so drugged.

The movie itself is well made, acting is excellent and the absurdity of the scenes goes from funny to horrific. I liked how camera and colors were used to give the punch for the storytelling very well.

All in all, good movie.
