Baek, who played the mastermind in “Swindle” and a key role in “The President’s Last Stand,” is aces: when he disappears halfway, pic does temporarily lose some puff.Īmong the older protags, Kim Eung-su is menacingly smooth as Kwak, while Jo’s Go-ni holds his own throughout the pic by sheer bravado.
Kim Hye-su, looking every voluptuous inch a legendary femme fatale, is one of the few actresses who could hold her own in such colorful male territory, and her portrayal of the money-centered Madam Jeong is one of the delights of the movie. There’s also very little downtime in the picture: the gambling scenes, which in true Korean style often end in rough-and-tumbles, are restlessly shot in handheld closeup, while the non-gambling interludes, lensed more conventionally in good-looking widescreen, have a noir-ish flavor, with characters endlessly toying with each other. Though it sounds tortuous on paper, and is initially difficult to grasp thanks to being told mostly in flashback, Choi’s script does manage to tie up all its loose ends in the final reels. As all players plan their separate revenge (and Jeong the financial killing of her career), events come to a head during a showdown between Goni and A-gui. Situation gets even more complicated when, back in Seoul, Go-ni - to Madam Jeong’s dismay - becomes involved with pretty Hwa-ran (Lee Su-gyeong), who owns a small bar with her sister, Se-ran (Kim Jeong-ran). When Pyeong is suddenly killed - by party unknown - Go-ni is left to sink or swim.

After one look at Go-ni, Jeong decides to “make him mine” and within minutes they’re partners in more than business.īut Go-ni, the kid from the sticks, is now embroiled in a world of professional high rollers, which includes the psychotic A-gui (Kim Yun-seok), who has “unfinished business” with Pyeong, and smooth ganglord Kwak Cheol-yeong (Kim Eung-su), who’s still looking for payback from Go-ni after the latter made a pile from him earlier. He then takes him to Busan to meet the famous Madam Jeong (Kim Hye-su, from “Red Shoes”), a cool-as-a-cucumber “Flower of Gambling” who strips amateur punters of their cash without a second glance. Pyeong recognises in Go-ni the right combo of desperation and ruthlessness, and accepts him as a pupil. He spends six months trying to track down the guy who cheated him, and in the process meets Pyeong Gyeong-jang (Baek Yun-shik), a self-styled “best gambler in the land” who’s now retired. Through-character is 20-something Go-ni (Jo Seung-woo, from Im Kwon-taek’s “Low Life”), who loses all his savings in a game of hwatu, steals his sister’s alimony to try again and loses that as well. These “pros” are all people who coolly bet the bank (and their lives) on the turn of a card, literally and figuratively. “Tazza” - Korean slang for gamblers at the height of their powers - is based on a popular comicbook and is both more extreme in its characteriztion and populated by a larger cast.

Enter the world of Tazza, a world where the hand is faster than the eye, where deception is the name of the game and where neither friendship nor enmity last forever. What’s a poor kid to do? Well, when this poor kid realizes that he’s just been swindled by an organized ring of cheaters, he sets off on a quest to track them down and beat them at their own game, having first apprenticed himself to a wise old hwatu master. Cleaned out of his life savings, Goni steals more from his family and loses that too.
This wouldn’t be such a problem if Goni weren’t so embarrassingly bad at it. Goni has an addiction, hard and fast, to gambling in general, and specifically hwatu, an old-as-the-hills Korean card game played with a deck of tiny, flower-blazoned cards.
