Tajja : shinui son

An amazing Korean flick after a long time. At first I was worried, after all 140 minutes is quite long, but this film draws the viewer in from the first second and doesn't let go until the end. The film has a very stylish look, likable characters, beautiful girls, one fantastic car chase and a great fight with some low-key camera work, a certain level of brutality, decent twists and turns, a solid adrenaline rush during the games and a wonderfully paced finale. I didn't really understand the game, but I was intrigued nonetheless. The whole movie is mostly about the best gamblers and anyone who likes gambling can't miss this movie. A pleasant surprise. 80%.
