Netflix releases "Ballad of a Small Player" trailer.

Netflix released the trailer for "Ballad of a Small Player" on Tuesday morning, and it appears Colin Farrell might be playing with some magic here.

Give it a watch below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

Looks pretty cool, right? There are few topics that provide as much potential for craziness than high-stakes gambling.

There's something about a great gambling flick that sets the tone for chaos and carnage. That's why "Rounders" and "Casino" are such epic movies. "The Hangover" is another great example. There are plenty to choose from.

Now, Colin Farrell is leading the charge in a movie set in Macau. For those of you who don't know, Macau is like Las Vegas, but on steroids and for rich people in Asia.

It's next level gambling, where baccarat is king. Judging from the preview, there will be plenty of it featured in the film.
