Tazza: The High Rollers (2006)

Rating 3.75/5.0
where 5 is a classic korean ishtyle entertainer

At a time when terrible movies like Avatar become blockbusters and the likes of Scorcese and Nolan are hell bent on making mediocre films, Korean cinema is rapidly catching up not only from an artistic standpoint but also - and this is interesting - from a pure entertainment angle. Its interesting because when you consider foreign cinema, most countries claim to fame are movies that reach arty film festivals (Iranian cinema is a case in point) - and Hollywood takes up the mantle when it comes to producing entertainers. Not anymore it seems, our wonderful Korean friends are making slick, fast paced flicks which have an added attraction - a good script! Watch this one to know what I'm talking about.
