Dario Argento’s latest movie sees the Italian police embark on a twisted set of internet card games with the titular villain.
The Card Player kidnaps young women and then forces the cops to play for the victims lives, broadcasting their deaths over the internet if the police lose.
The premise is a good one and the locations are fantastic with the aesthetics being the strongest features here.
The cast are so-so but the terrible dubbing job detracted from what were already some questionable acting jobs.
The main highlight here is an overhead sequence where the female lead fights the antagonist in her apartment.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Argento may have lost his touch if this is anything to go by.
