Emperor, Judgement, Tower, Heirophant, and High Priestess. 3 From omega, and 2 from Alpha. The "Devil" is the only other dead character, and he is the boss, neither a member of Alpha or Omega.

Quotes:

Fool:You do this every morning?
Chariot:[laughs] No, no, I drink as much as I do, because every day is Christmas.

Not worth wasting time on!

I'll admit, with a cast like this I had expectations. Please be ready to have them dashed very quickly! This film didn't really live up to anything - it was almost like it tried too hard to fit too many different genres, and instead ended up with a bunch of nothingness.

Nothing seemed to fit together, there was no real plot or storyline, and I was bored. I usually watch right to the end of a film, even if I'm not really enjoying it, because there might be some redeeming feature or I might be a bit curious about how it all ends - but I didn't care about this one. At all.

It wasn't funny enough to be a comedy (I think I half-heartedly chuckled about twice) and there wasn't enough action or drama for it to be classed as anything else - I just really didn't see the point of it, and I'm very surprised at the number of well known actors who actually agreed to be in it! Very poor, and not worth wasting your time on.
