Synopsis

Our take

The innocent features of youthful faces are in stark contrast with their malevolent behavior when their obsession with gambling gets out of hand. A powerful thriller and a realist depiction of addiction, The Odds will make you hold your breath as each chapter takes a more sinister turn.
