Mixed reviews surround the poker horror film, The Card Player (Il Cartio) made by the Italian director Dario Argento.
The movie will be available online as the release was limited in the US theatres. However, a thriller on poker sounds very weird. The story mentions a serial killer in Rome. The city police faced a challenge in an online video poker game. The game decides the fate of the abducted women. For every game the police lose, a part of the victims body is cut.
The female detective in the movie is Anna Mari (Stefania Rocca). She has a personal agenda with the case as her father committed suicide to save himself from the poker debts. Nevertheless the reviews for the movie are mixed as it was difficult for the people to accept a plot, which surrounds an online poker game.
