    Fun, good cast, it does feel that it takes way too much time in telling the story, but the characters are well written and engaging. Kim Hye-Su made me touch myself several times.

    This film sails past 2 hours long going "pfft... 2 hours? that's nothing..." Why does every Korean film have to be an epic?

    Aside from that, this film is a stylish gambling movie that tracks the rise and fall and rise and fall etc... of a great gambler.

    Tazza sometimes exhibi...( read more)ts some depth, but it's mainly just meant to be a cool and hip flick. Since it's based on a comic, you sometimes have to just resist the urge to question logic or ask questions - like why do people even bother playing against this asshole who chops off ears and hands and takes your money anyway whether you win or lose? and how is that even gambling?

    Yes - some of the scenarios are a bit far fetched and some of the characters are a bit too cool for school at times, but it's pretty engrossing. I had a really good time with it.

    I mean, with all its problems and the fact that it was at least 20 minutes too long - it still kept me interested from start to finish. The acting, music, action, effects, settings, lighting and cinematography are all tops.

    I usually don't like films about gambling but this was highly entertaining. Just a tad on the long side.... full review still to come.

    Beautifully shot with stylish editing but the film drags on for too long. And while most of its scenes are entertaining the plot behind it seems empty.
