Jake Green is a gambler whose skill at cards has made him effectively uninsurable at any casino, so his winnings are handled by his older brother Billy, an accountant. Trouble arrives when a crime boss named Dorothy Macha invites him to a private game. Jake wins heavily, and Macha, unaccustomed to losing, takes it personally. The conflict between the two men drives the story from there.
Guy Ritchie directed and wrote the film, the fourth of the nineteen features he has directed in chronological order, following Swept Away and preceding RocknRolla. Jason Statham plays Jake, with Ray Liotta as Macha; the cast also includes Vincent Pastore, André 3000, Terence Maynard and Andrew Howard. Virginie Besson-Silla produced for a group of companies including Canal+, EuropaCorp and Destination Films. The budget was 27 million USD, and the worldwide gross came to 7 million USD.
On IMDb the film holds 6.3 out of 10 across roughly 108,000 votes, while on TMDB it sits at 6.4 from about 1,600 ratings. A critics' rating of 3.5 out of 10 from 67 reviews places it well below the audience scores on both platforms.
