Gambler and conman Jake Green (Jason
Statham) always ran with a bad crowd and it cost him seven
years in jail. After his release, Jake becomes unbeatable at
the tables using a formula for the ultimate con that he
learned from two mysterious prisoners while on the inside.
Now, he is ready to take his revenge against Dorothy Macha
(Ray Liotta), the man responsible for his jail time. Macha
is plotting to eliminate his ruthless rival, Lord John, and
has staked his credibility on a huge drug deal with the
all-powerful Sam Gold. Jake visits Macha at his casino and
humiliates him publicly in a game of chance. Macha, fearing
more of the same medicine, sends his goons to “take care of”
Jake. His life is saved by enigmatic Zack (Vincent Pastore)
who, with his equally inscrutable partner Avi (André
Benjamin), offer Jake protection. Against his better
judgment, Jake accepts. He soon finds himself playing the
very last game he wants to be playing, and there is danger
at every turn. But, the biggest danger of all comes from a
totally unexpected source…himself. It gradually transpires
the real conman is in his head.
