Jack Satin (Hamilton von Watts) is a fascinating character. He is a psychoanalyst’s wet dream. Paging Sigmund Freud or Carl Jung. Is there a doctor in this facility? Deconstructing Satin’s mind will provide any number of conclusions, but mainly one may interpret that the performer suffers from “delusions of grandeur”. Having grown up around Vegas performers such as Wayne Newton, somehow Satin has developed a sense of self-worth far out of proportion with reality. As our story begins, Satin is thrown off the stage while performing for an “intimate” crown (tiny and pathetic) in a dingy ramshackle of a casino. Having borrowed money from his employers, Jack is in trouble and needs to escape from Vegas as fast as possible.
Jack’s self-created mirage mimics Vegas performers of old. His plaid shirts are straight from the 50s, his car is a cheap replica from the 60s, and his haircut belongs in the 70s. Having impugned the singer/songwriter/performer, he does have a few attributes working for him. Jack is genuinely a sweetheart once one sees past the façade of his arrogance. He can sing with the best of the American Idol tryouts, and rocks Karaoke night like nobody else. Fleeing Vegas for a much improved gig in Atlantic City, Jack’s car breaks down and leaves him stranded and penniless in a dilapidated desert town. Fate has intervened for Jack is about to meet the future love of his life, and learn a few lessons about friendship and being an adult.
In town Jack meets a myriad of people, but none more interesting than Lauren Wells (Melissa Joan Hart), Doc (Robert Guillaume), Kip Tanner (Michael Kudlitz), and Heaven Carrera (Jackie Debatin). Lauren owns the local bar/restaurant and has a soft spot for the downtrodden. Doc has some experience with nurturing musicians’ talents. He takes Jack under his wings while slowly fixing his car. Kip works for Lauren and dated her in high school. He is extremely competitive and narcissistic, not to mention jealous and blustering. Kip relentlessly opposes Jack and Lauren’s burgeoning friendship. Before Jack is able to become friends with Lauren, and get his proverbial feet wet in town, the seductive Heaven invites him to her place for free lodging and romance. What he finds instead is hell! She beats him like a government mule with whips and chains to boot. No medieval sex dungeon would be complete without handcuffs.
Once the initial shock of being in “Nowhere”, Nevada wears off, Jack begins fraternizing with the town’s people. Lauren wants to help him recover his confidence so she invites him to be a regular performer at her establishment. Although Kip intervenes and a brouhaha ensues, this only serves to bring Lauren closer to Satin even though she prefers silk (made from the larvae of mulberry silkworms). Even so, Jack is as smooth as they come. Once their barriers are down we learn about their troubled pasts and it is obvious they have a great deal in common. It is only when Jack’s troubled history in Vegas comes a knocking that their relationship nears its collapse.
Satin is a movie about a regular guy that can never seem to catch a break. He rarely fits in anywhere and is in the middle of an unrecognized life crisis. It is serendipity indeed that his car broke down or he would never have found the beginnings of true happiness, friendship, and comfort. Watch this independent film with confidence that it will charm you, even if only a little.
