Cartaio, Il (2004, ITA) C-103m. ** D: Dario Argento. Starring Stefania Rocca, Liam Cunningham, Claudio Santamaria, Fiore Argento. A serial killer is challenging the police to play online poker games with him. If he wins, he will kill his victims, if not, he will let them go. Policewoman Rocca is out to investigate with boozing Irishman Cunningham. Obvious, hardly convincing thriller from Argento, an unfortunately botched attempt at modernizing his giallo formula. Rocca is appealing, though. Her character was played by Asia Argento in the 1996 LA SINDROME DI STENDHAL. Good score by Claudio Simonetti. Fabrizio Bava (Mario's grandson) was assistant director. English titles: THE CARD PLAYER, THE CARD DEALER.
