WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 2:

13***

Genre: Drama/Thriller

Rating: R

Director: Géla Babluani

Actors: Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Ray Liotta

Vince Ferro (Sam Riley) is a man in desperate circumstances. While on a quick fix-it job, he steals an envelope containing instructions for a mysterious job that promises a potential fortune. He assumes a false identity and follows the instructions, only to find himself a numbered participant in an underworld Russian Roulette competition, where gamblers place bets on who’ll survive when the trigger is pulled. The stakes are high, but the payout is more than he can resist. This is a good cast and a neat premise.

It weakness is that it fails in creating a strong connections with the various characters, you just don’t seem to care who lives or dies. Overall, an entertaining movie that is worth watching, if for no other reason than morbid curiosity.
