bet your life was a movie i wanted a long time billy zane is really good in it and the action is none stop. this move is so good its a must fore anybody that loves action. plus they have a special feature on how the move was made and with two very good stars you never heard of. what makes this so special is you see behind the sceans of so many people trying out for this move and only two are going to be picked. but i saw this special show along time ago of who want to be a star. everybody in this move are so good and with all they put into this disc made it worth it. i loved watching them make the movie and its a must to any body that loves billy zane he keeps you in the action and its a great deal at amzon. bobby lee 007.

4.0 out of 5 stars THE HOUSE ALWAYS WINS, February 4, 2012

This review is from: Bet Your Life (DVD)

Before the made for TV credits is over we know that ex-quarterback Sonny Briggs (Sean Carrigan) through first person narration is a small time limo driver in Vegas with a gambling problem. In fact he owes 20 Grand in debt. Right after the credits a man gets shot from a helicopter in downtown Vegas.

Sonny's life is in turmoil. So much so that he agrees to be hunted by Billy Zane who has slipped a GPS device on him. The rules are simple. If Sonny lives for 24 hours he gets $2.4 million dollars minus a 2% handling fee, the films attempt at humor.

The inane action starts right after Sonny leaves the Casino. Sonny opts to make Cleveland his battleground (Filmed on Location!). This is not a simple game of cat and mouse. The bookie that Sonny owes money has hired its own killer to go after him. She (Corinne Van Ryck de Groot) bumps heads with Zane over killing Sonny. On his way to Cleveland, Sonny has bumped into a Second Amendment enthusiast who supplies Sonny with the means to shoot back.

The action is non-stop with exploding cars, babes on bikes, and Zane hunting from a black helicopter. There are some scenes that were just bad. Such as two guys with automatic weapons, about 20 yards apart in the open and they can't hit each other? What do you expect from a Zane film? Straight forward. Not much in the way of twists or thinking.

No f-bombs, sex, or nudity...just the capital of Thailand
