Dead Man's Cards

When Tom's boxing career ends abruptly, he's offered a job as a door man at a rundown night club. There he meets Paul, a volatile man with a history of bloodshed. Paul tries mentoring Tom on living a "clean" life, but the two men are soon unavoidably at odds with vicious local gangsters, and the violence running through their veins is about to erupt.

My take

A gritty noir thriller that trades the ring for the shadows of a seedy nightclub. Perfect for those seeking dark, character-driven storytelling with moral ambiguity and the kind of atmospheric tension that lingers after the credits roll.
