Great story, great acting..., 11 April 2002
Author: Giovanni rossi (lidia.miroglio@alice.it) from torino, Italy



This movie's about a street-wise gambler who starts working for a big criminal organization, working as a professional gambler for them, Every thing seems to go alright, until Luca (Luc Merenda), falls in love with a woman who financially lives of the Big bosse's son money, in return for giving her body to him, The bosse's son want to take revenge on Luca, but his father 'The president(Who also deals in drugs, and other illegal activities) who also happens to be in a wheel chair (Enrico Maria Salerno) doesn't want his son touching Luca, being that Luca is a great Gambler, and makes alot of Money for the organization, This is the premise, Obviously the story thickens alot being full of twists and surprises, the plot making it one of the greatest tragic, violent, and complex Luc merenda's film. And Enrico Maria Salerno is obviously Great as usual, This is the typical movie that if Hollywood remade it, it would obviously be a sure number on hit.
