2005111 min6.4 / 10

A paranoid, labyrinthine thriller about a gambler caught in a high-stakes game that may be far more than it appears, built on misdirection and psychological manipulation.

Hotshot gambler Jake Green is long on bravado and seriously short of common sense. Rarely is he allowed in any casino because he's a bona fide winner and, in fact, has taken so much money over the years that he's the sole client of his accountant elder brother, Billy. Invited to a private game, Jake is in fear of losing his life.
