Completely skipping over the DVD era and still an out-of-print and hard to find VHS, Phillip Haas' The Music Of Chance has finally seen the light of day with a streaming release on Tubi. Well, sort of - I'll tell you right now the VHS transfer is pretty mediocre with not only the fairly common video dropouts on the lower edge but this one unfortunately also has dropouts through the middle here and there. It's still great to see it accessible to the whole world now and if you want to know more about it, you can read my review below....enjoy, this is one of James Spader's best performances and Mandy Patinkin is awesome plus one of the most prominent appearances ever by M Emmet Walsh (worth seeing just for this reason) - don't pass go, don't collect $200, just put it on your list and get ready to enjoy one of the greatest indies of the '90's.
4.0 stars/5
THE MUSIC OF CHANCE (1993) - OBSCURE INDIE STARRING JAMES SPADER & MANDY PATINKIN AS CARD PLAYERS WHO LOSE AT POKER AND ARE FORCED TO BUILD A WALL WITH 10,000 STONES!
James Spader in one of the best performances of his career. 1993 was a stellar year for movies with now considered classics adorning our shelves like The Fugitive, Falling Down, Tombstone, and The Firm to name just a few.
Music of Chance (1993)
