Martingale

About This Movie

Martingale, directed by Jeremy Berg, dives deep into a gritty world where a casino security officer's life spirals after her daughter's horrific crime. The film's tone is relentlessly dark, reflecting the harsh realities of loss and revenge. It's not just a crime story; it explores the fragility of trust, and the lengths a mother will go for justice. The atmosphere is thick with tension, and the pacing keeps you on edge, weaving through the glitzy facades of the casino and the underbelly of crime that lurks beneath. Practical effects are employed sparingly but effectively, adding to the rawness of the story. Performances are solid, particularly the lead, who embodies a mix of vulnerability and fierce determination. There’s a haunting quality to the narrative that lingers long after the credits roll.
