Hard Eight is the debut film from Paul Thomas Anderson, who not directed but wrote the script. It confirms his talent, promise and extreme confidence as a filmmaker. This is a Vegas film with a difference tackling the dark undercurrent of the Strip, a film that keeps you guessing until the very end. A great cast seem to enjoy the dialogue and style employed by Anderson, with long takes continuing beyond the norm. Hard Eight has been overlooked by many, do check it out.
