    • Dario Does It Again
THE CARD PLAYER isn't Argento's greatest film or ever close to it, but it is miles ahead of the worst (PHANTOM) and in fact would be perfectly entertaining if we weren't expecting something a little, I don't know, more. More gruesome? More disjointed? More garish and flooded with saturated color? The odd thing is that the film keeps getting better and better as it goes along, the set-pieces building up, the suspense growing, the attachment between the two leads growing stronger and more tender, until you actually believe they're in love. Stefania Rocca is quite an actress, and as for Liam Cunningham, he's no Liam Neeson but he works well with Rocca, they're quite natural together. They play two cops from different nations drawn together to solve a case in common, the Video Poker murders, played on a computer from a remote location in Rome, one blocked from police surveillance by firewalls. The plot calls for the police to secure the services of the nation's best poker player. But when he sits down to play, you hardly know why. Video poker must be the world's easiest game. My cat could have played the poker game with as iuch skill as young Remo exhibits. Five cards are dealt you, you get to decide which to hold and which to substitute. Big deal! You then either win or lose. It was an odd turn of the plot, but made sense visually I guess, it just seems peculiar that Stefania Rocca couldn't have played poker against "The Joker" from the very first victim, instead of dragging in Ramo against his will. Though the affection between Ramo and Anna was the best part of the film, and the scene where she catches him smoking a joint in the toilet was very sweet (and unlike anything else I can remember in Argento, same with the aftermath of the game in which Lucia's fate is decided). The young actor who plays Ramo is adorable, thin enough to slip under a doorway, but wily and a "playa." He seems like a little boy until the scene in the cafe where he lets his gonads get him into trouble deep. I don't know, I've watched Argento's films for a long time and after awhile you notice, the young actors he casts are all like Cadinot gods! What is the story with that I wonder!?!?! ... show more

    • Goblin Lives...sort of?!?!
I am a huge Argento fan and I cant figure out why. The man has some pretty good ideas in his films but usually poor acting,dubbing & budget sink them right from the start. I think his work is fit to be remade by someone who understands & sees Argentos brilliance as clearly as a fan. I think Argento should be allowed complete creative controll & final cut of any remake someone may do. The Card Player is supposed to be a sequal to The Stendhal Syndrome however I dont see how. Other than the charactor of Anna played by two different actors no reference is made to the previous film. The Card Player is about a killer who plays high stakes poker with the police online. Unlike previous Argento films most of the violence is done off camera aiming more for suspense. Good news is Argento is less than a decade behind current film makers within this genre. Also the dubbing is minimal and not too noticeable & the acting is pretty solid. Bad news is that its all been done b4 and to greater effect. In the end Card Player may only be suitable for a fan of Argentos work but dont be deceived by the countless negative reviews floating around the net. This movie is hardly the train wreck some want you to beleive. I was mildly surprised by the turn this legendary director has taken with this new entry. ... show more

    • Is that all there is?
This is easily the flattest Argento movie. Admittedly, some of this is intentional: it's clear that the old master is attempting to make a `realist' thriller: gone are the crumbling piles of old Rome; the cobwebs and the faded gothic glamour - in are the pastel shades and humdrum reality of everyday modern Italy. This isn't so much of a problem, really, what is is Argento's attempt at a contemporary thriller: trying to wrap his story in what he thinks is the techno babble of today is akin to seeing your Grand Dad break dancing at a family wedding disco. Frankly, it's a little embarrassing. I don't think that Argento needs to shackle himself to the past, but, where before he emerged some of his stories in futuristic (and deliriously unlikely) sci-fi improbabilities, here he's playing with clichés: the internet is so Sandra Bullock; and that thing with the seeds found on the corpses would be great, if it hadn't been pummeled to death already in SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991). ... show more
