Concept:
Sebastian, a young man, has decided to follow instructions intended for someone else, without knowing where they will take him. Something else he does not know is that Gerard Dorez, a cop on a knife-edge, is tailing him. When he reaches his destination, Sebastian falls into a degenerate, clandestine world of mental chaos behind closed doors in which men gamble on the lives of others men.
Pros:
- Tension so thick, that my heart was in my throat
- Shows that even with the lack of music, emotions can still run high in a film
- Once this film starts the ball rolling, it doesn't stop
- Images that will stick in your mind, even though its a black and white film
- It takes awhile for this film to really pick up it pace
- Part of the greatness of this film is the surprise of the game, the less you know about the film going in, the better it is
WARNING the trailer has SPOILERS in it, if you don't want to know what the game is, don't watch it

My Thoughts:
When I was first trying to watch this movie, I almost didn't make it. The beginning of this film is so slow and it doesn't explain anything so it was really hard to get through the first half hour. But after that period, this film goes places that I would have never guessed in a million years. Somehow in a film, where there is no music and is filmed in black and white, I was able to get engrossed with the main character plight and couldn't stop watching.
