Traders Movie Poster

Ok so the synopsis of this film didn't really do it justice of I'm honest. The small bit of blurb gives a very brief and under whelming report.

I found this film to be very good and even though it took a bit of time to get going once the plot had kicked in we were off to the races.

A pair of merchant bankers are laid off from there jobs, one of them Vernon hits upon an idea of setting up a web site where people can fight it out for an agreed purse the winner has to place the looser in a grave they've dug together. The theory being you're only 7 fights from a million if you double you're money each time. Vernon tries the concept out with his former co-worker on a piece of waste land. But ends up stabbing himself in the shoulder and his former co-worker Harry feels sorry for him and lets him live taking the money. Harry's hooked and goes on to make more Trades as the fights are called and Vernon harbours resentment towards Harry. The film builds to a great ending and is really worth a watch. The violence while brutal at times is well within the context of the film and well thought out and the camera really makes you feel like a first hand witness to these events. Give it a try you won't be disapointed.
