I Shot a Man in Vegas

I Shot a Man in Vegas is a 1995 film written and directed by Keoni Waxman, and starring John Stockwell and Janeane Garofalo. The movie is a suspense thriller about five friends dealing with a getaway after one of them gunned down another and dumped the corpse into the trunk of their car.

Critical reception

Film critic Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times in his review praised the film, "...this taut psychological drama packs one surprise after another. Storytelling with a camera seems to come naturally for Waxman, who matches an easy visual flair with an equally effective way with actors and dialogue... Waxman has chosen well his cameraman Steven Finestone, endlessly resourceful and dynamic yet fluid, and his composer Shark, whose spare, mood-setting score is superior to many in far more expensive movies."
