Sinopsis(1)
Jake Green (Jason Statham) es un arriesgado jugador de azar al que pocas veces se le permite entrar en un casino porque saben que es un ganador nato. Una noche, Jake es invitado a participar en un juego privado, donde está previsto que pierda con Dorothy Macha, un jefe criminal y propietario del casino que siempre gana por el miedo que provoca. Pero Jake no está asustado y no sólo se conforma con ganar a Dorothy, sino que aprovecha toda oportunidad para insultarle. Cuando Jake abandona la partida, Dorothy dará orden de eliminar a Jake. (Barton Films)

Guy Ritchie took his camera and his old acting crew and headed to the American casinos to play at being higher level gangsters. They grab Luc Besson along the way, and they are picked up at the airport by Ray Liotta. Looking at Jason Statham they decided that his new look with long hair and beard looked cool, so they gave them the lead roles and in all seriousness made a convoluted story in which money, drugs, and guns play second fiddle. That’s because the inner demons of people on the other side of the law are a much more serious subject, which is not to say that the final work is a total fiasco, but without any black-humored trivialization, it all feels too heavy-handed and the over-complicated plot implausible. This effort certainly didn't suit the director and it didn’t work for me (along with most of the viewing public), but I have no issues watching it again thanks to its appealing form.
