What the critics say

It’s a great true story, told with wit, candour and fizzing energy
- Mail on Sunday

Candid, smart, funny, wild and crazy

Dark, wildly affectionate and very, very funny. It is a world filled with scoundrels, thieves and gamblers, where everyone is looking to somehow come out on top while doing what they love

- Marie Claire

From Vegas to Rio, from the boxing ring to the stripper's pole, [meet] the sickest crew of action junkies since Roulettenburg... A kaleidoscope of high-testosterone debauchery

Raymer is sharp, quick and ballsy. You are caught up in the rush of her life
