Written and Directed by: Gela Babluani
Starring: George Babluani
Sebastian finds directions for and assumes the identity of a recently deceased man which leads to him participating in an underground ring of human Russian Roulette.
I was first introduced to this film by the fantastic trailer, which is on the list of the best trailers I have ever seen. The film is a bit slow and can be hard to follow during the first part, but it really excels once it gets to the roulette scenes. From that point on, it is one of the most suspenseful movies out there, and the direction and shot selection is flawless. Unfortunately this film has been remade for American audiences, and now stars Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, and 50 Cent. I recommend seeking out this French original first, because I can't imagine the remake will be anywhere near as good.
