In the 1980s, much like every decade, there was a fondness for 30 years prior. With "The Big Town," there is no exception. Movie takes place in the 1950s, and it is a throwback to noir films of the era.
Kevin Dylan plays a small town gambler who dreams of making a big in Chicago. He moves there, and then quickly gets hooked up with a gambling syndicate that carton around to various different places. Obviously there is a history there with other gamblers who have seen young hotshots much like Kevin Dylan, and he is set up with fixed dice, Banning him from one of the biggest gambling tables in the city. He's redeemed, falls in love with a gangster's girlfriend, and all is well at the end.
This isn't exactly anything new or old, this is literally the same story that you've seen about a million times and will see again. It's great 1980s nostalgia, especially if you've never seen this film or heard of it, and it has an all-star cast going from Kevin Dylan and Diane Lane all the way to Bruce Dern and Tom Skerritt. It's a lot of fun, great soundtrack, just don't expect anything Oscar worthy or anything that'll surprise you.
