Synopsis:
An undercover cop infiltrates a game of Poker being run by a Mafia Crime Lord in an attempt to put an end to his schemes too secure the briefcase which is being auctioned off. However when the game is disrupted too guns are drawn, a stand off arises between the two factions.

Influences:
Trainspotting – Drug reference too the influences they can have. This is represented by Ivan’s cocaine addiction which brings more aggression too energy out of the character. We highlight the aspects of drugs with the song of “why’d you only call me when your high” which talks about aspects of drug use.
La la land – The vibrant color used; like the red tint over majority of our film. We also see the main Protagonist wearing white too the Antagonist wearing a dark navy showing their opposite natures perceiving the antagonist with a much darker too evil presence compared to Jason. The use of red also helps set this characters nature with it being his location showing a devilish atmosphere.
