Amazon.co.uk Review
In Night at the Golden Eagle, a cross-section of decrepit people live out their desperate, dead-end lives over the course of a long night at an equally decrepit LA hotel. This is the jaundiced vision of director Adam Rifkin, best known for the raucously enjoyable Detroit Rock City and the cult curiosity The Dark Backward. He's corralled some good people for this low-budget offering (Natasha Lyonne and Ann Magnuson as hookers, Vinnie Jones as a cruel pimp), but the lion's share of screen time goes to a pair of small-time crooks (Donnie Montemarano and Vinny Argiro) planning to split for Vegas in the morning. It's diverting for a while, but the bleached-sepia look and unrelenting rancidity take their toll, grinding the picture down. Even a soft-shoe shuffle for Fayard Nicholas (of the awesome Nicholas Brothers), a grace note if there ever was one, can't lift the movie out of its determined sense of gloom. --Robert Horton
Synopsis
Donnie Martemarano stars in this gritty lowlife tale as Tommy, a small-time criminal pushing 60 who has just been released from jail. His old running buddy, Mic, meets him at the prison, tells him that he's gone clean, and takes Tommy to the Golden Eagle, one of L.A.'s most down-at-heel hotels. There, he tells Tommy his plan to head to Las Vegas and lead a law-abiding life. Unfortunately, Tommy is uninterested. Fresh out of jail, Tommy immediately finds himself a hooker at the hotel and, in a harrowing sequence, murders her out of rage, putting himself and Mic in great danger.
