The Music of Chance
"This award winning and hugely acclaimed film stars James Spader as Jack Pozzi, a low-life card shark whose luck deserts him during the most important poker game of his life. The film is an original, evocative darkly drawn tale of power, manipulation and high stakes, where fate can be determined by a single cut of the cards."
American Independence
"This screen adaptation of Paul Auster's compelling novel is a hugely satisfying thriller. Offbeat and made with cool style by director Philip Hass, it is distinguished by excellent performances in a tale sufficiently intelligent and unpredictable to grip throughout and to unsettle for some time after viewing."
