I would have bet a hundred bucks he was going to swallow the bullets.

Mindless fun and some nice scenery. It's always good to see Michael Jai White working. (I really need to find my Black Dynamite DVD or break down and buy a new one.) The stand-out in the cast was Jimmy Navarro as police detective Thiago Santo. I've never seen him before but the guy is oozing with charisma. American casting directors should take note--the camera loves him.

I would have bet on that as well, I was expecting something similar as the scene in The Crow, when they sit around the table and do shots with a 'round' chaser.

I was interpreting the bullets in each glass as how many each friend had taken when being shot.

Fire it up, fire it up!

The Crow scene came to my mind too. I was totally convinced he was going to down them. Pretty sure they tried him swallowing them a few times, but the bullets kept coming back up, the bullets were too scared to go down.

Swallowing the bullets would have caused him more harm than they had any chance of doing while playing Russian Roullette, because the primers in those cases had already been spent.
Looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

Ha ha. I thought that too.

I agree about the guy who played Thiago too. Definitely a charismatic guy.
