Géla Babluani's uneven film is a first rate thriller that puts a new spin on the Russian roulette game. The film seems more at home in the 50s or 60s because of its old fashioned style; however, the theme of "Get rich or Die trying" couldn't be more current. Babluani's sense for the form and style is spot on including the black and white cinematography. The only problem is some loopholes in the plot and character development but it's a genre piece that thrills never-the-less. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
