The movie
The police force is on edge: a mysterious serial killer kidnaps young women and invites the police to bet their life in a poker game on the Internet. Using a web cam, the police can see the victim brought into play online. In this race against the clock, they have to find a sufficiently talented player to come up against the killer and determine his identity. They know that he doesn't like to lose and would rather cut somebody else’s hand than pass the deal. In his new film, Dario Argento ("Suspiria","Tenebrae") added a cybernetic touch to a horrific police intrigue. The cards are dealt. but who has the best deal?
