Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaHarolds Club casino was opened in 1935 by brothers Harold and Raymond Smith as a seven-story casino without a hotel. In 1970 it was sold to Howard Hughes, and was sold again in December 1994. It closed three months later. Harrah's bought the property in 1999 and demolished it. The building had a 70-by-35 foot mural of old west pioneer settlers, which was saved and taken to the Reno Livestock Events Center.
- GoofsEn route to Reno while riding in house trailer, thieves put on gloves and begin wiping down interior so their fingerprints can't be traced, but in following scenes, before they've reached destination, are no longer wearing gloves and are touching everything.

Featured review
This movie, 5 Against the House, had an interesting tag line which is why I saw it. However, I found that the build up of the story line and the build up of the characters took forever! Once the plot got going though, about thirty-five minutes in, the story took off from there and held my attention until the end. This movie is good if you are looking for an obscure film noir to view, other than that, pass on it.
