THE DIVINE MOVE: Dive Into Korea's Gambling Underworld With The First Teaser

When it comes to high stakes gambling prone to lead to outbursts of extreme violence the board game go does not seem a likely candidate. But, hey, Tazza: The High Rollers managed to take the card game of hwatu and parlay it into a high stakes crowd pleasing blockbuster a few years back and now director Jo Bum-gu and leading man Jung Woo-sung are hoping to do exactly that with the venerable game of strategy in The Divine Move.

Professional go player Tae-suk loses his brother to infamous underground gambler Salsu after losing a high-stake game. He is framed for the murder of his own brother and is locked up in prison. He vows for a revenge and trains ferociously. After serving his 7-year sentence, he gets in touch with his brother's former associate Kkongsu, hermit and blind master player Jesus, and skillful junkyard owner Mok-su and begins formulating a plan to get back at Salsu and his men. Tae-suk slowly penetrates into Salsu's inner circle and his gambling joint, and eliminates Salsu's men one by one. But Salsu discovers Tae-suk's true identity and engages in one final game that'll seal the fates of 2 men involved.
Yes, Jesus plays go.

We've got the first trailer for this below - English subtitles included - and it's a super slick, very entertaining affair. Check it out!
