Storyline

After seven years in solitary, Jake Green is released from prison. In the next two years, he amasses a lot of money by gambling. He's ready to seek his revenge on Dorothy (Mr. D) Macha, a violence-prone casino owner who sent Jake to prison. He humiliates Macha in front of Macha's lieutenants, leaves, and keels over. Doctors tell him he has a rare disease and will die in three days; Macha also puts a hit out on him. Loan sharks, Zack and Avi, demand Jake's cash and complete fealty in return for protection. Jake complies, and through narration and flashbacks, we watch him through at least three days of schemes, danger, and redemption. Who is his greatest enemy? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Goofs

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the game of chess, when Jake explains Avi the opponent-victim rules, Jake checkmates Avi's king by moving the queen to the square, where the queen can be captured by Avi's bishop. Both players are too good for this: either Jake should say "check" only (or not make that move at all), or Avi should correct Jake, capture his queen and continue the game. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
Jake Green: One thing I've learned in the last seven years: in every game and con there's always an opponent, and there's always a victim. The trick is to know when you're the latter, so you can become the former.

Crazy Credits

There are no opening or end credits. Only the distributor (EuropaCorp) and
the production company (Revolver Pictures Ltd) are credited at all. The
ending has several minutes of blank screen and piano music. This seems to
be a deliberate choice by the director to reinforce the movie's
philosophical themes. See more »
