Subscribe FreeHard Eight is a gripping story of gambling, kidnapping and murder. Sydney (Baker Hall) is a deadpan professional gambler who takes the naive John (Reilly) under his wing after what seems to be a chance encounter. As their relationship develops, John falls for waitress/hooker, Clementine (Paltrow) and finds bad company with Jimmy (Jackson). When John and Clementine kidnap an overzealous client, Sydney sends the shaken couple away, giving Jimmy a long-awaited opportunity to play his trump card on the old man.
