Tazza-One Eyed Jack, grips you tightly into its high stakes suspense and never lets you go.
"When you bet, bet with your life." -One-Eyed Jack
At the outset it's a familiar tale of the young talented man tossing his future away for the allure of ill gotten gains at the cards table. But as the story unfolds through twists and double-crosses, that young man is introduced to the secretive swindles and charismatic enigma of the One-eyed Jack and gains an insight into his father's demise and possibly his own.
The movie has a charming graphic-novel aesthetic at times which let's us know it is aware of itself in a good way. Later, the plot and character exceeds its genre trappings, if any, and great surprises await the viewer.
