If you loved The Thieves, try Tazza: The High Rollers
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Tazza: The High Rollers has roughly 3.3× fewer votes than The Thieves — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Choi Dong-hoon, and they both carry the playful, raw, unhinged mood tags, and they sit in Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Thieves, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Tazza: The High Rollers is
A gambling movie that thinks it's about addiction. Go-ni is swindled out of his savings, then seeks revenge by learning from a legendary tazza, or card shark. Desire proves bottomless, as Go-ni seeks ever greater challenges. Turns out: gambling movies are about gambling.
