| Luck of the Draw - 2001 | |
 | An all-star cast of edgy men anchors LUCK OF THE DRAW, a thrilling crime drama which explores the seedy world of gambling and mobsters. Award-winning actor Dennis Hopper (APOCALYPSE NOW, EASY RIDER) is a mob boss who is determined to find the ex cons responsible for stealing counterfeit money. Though one of these former criminals, Jack Sweeney (James Marshall of TV's TWIN PEAKS,) is attempting to go straight, his unshakeable lust for money and excitement leaves him wrapped up in a web of crime and violence. Eric Roberts, Michael Madsen, Ice-T, and William Forsyth all turn in strong supporting performances. |
| Intacto - 2002 | |
 | With INTACTO, from director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo, a group of people who have "the gift" of being extremely lucky play into a suspenseful world of gambling and superstition. The film begins and ends in the Canary Islands, where ringleader Sam (Max von Sydow), a Holocaust survivor, runs a casino. His right-hand man Federico (Eusebio Poncela) is stripped of "the gift" in a terrifying exchange that Federico sees as worse than death: Sam hugs him and in doing so steals his luck away. Desperate for revenge, Federico latches onto Tomas (Leonard Sbaraglia), the miraculous sole survivor of an airplane crash. He convinces Tomas to test his luck in various games (one involves running full-speed, blindfolded, through a heavily wooded forest to see if he is "lucky" enough to avoid running into a tree.) By training Tomas to be a winner, Federico hopes to eventually have him challenge Sam. Thrown into the complicated mix are an untouchable bullfighter (Antonio Dechent), and an auto accident survivor (Monica Lopez) who want to break up this obsessive gambling ring. INTACTO uses its stirring orchestral score by Lucio Godoy, its puzzling plotline, its bleak desert settings, and its fast-moving nighttime driving scenes to create a mood of mystery and intrigue. |
