Svartur á Leik
Black's Game
BLACK'S GAME may not be the most epic or original rise-and-fall-of-a-criminal-empire-film
ever but it comes pretty close, and sure is a mighty enjoyable entry in that field. Competently made, briskly paced, charismatically
acted by its (often creepy) cast and totally hiding any evidence of a low budget, it turned out to be a crowdpleaser.” (Twitchfilm.net)
