After the abduction of a British tourist in Rome, police inspector Anna Mari is contacted by the criminal, who self-entitles The Card Player, challenging the police department to dispute a video poker with him where the prize would be the life of the victim. The Chief of Police refuses to participate and the victim is tortured and killed in front of an Internet web cam. British detective John Brennan is assigned to investigate the case and when another woman is kidnapped, they invite the addicted player Remo to play for the police. Anna and John lead the investigation trying to disclose who might be the serial-killer.
Thanks very much for this which was on my to-do list. Would it be possible to get Argento’s Phantom of the Opera ? This is one of Argento’s most disliked films but I feel it about time I stopped living off the classics and finally see the films that came after 1987’s Opera, which argubly brought to an end that great run that began with Bird With the Crystal Plumage. As ever thanks very much for all the great shares.
