Treatment

It opens on an extreme close-up of a man (John) in a suit and red tie, showing only his chest. The camera pans out wider with the credits fading in and out around him, eventually revealing he is at a poker table with two men in suits and a black tie either side of him with John in a spotlight.  The panning stops and the shot is left on the wide shot of the three men at the table. We then see a few close up shots of the dealer shuffling and dealing cards, someone taking a drink and someone pushing in some chips. It then cuts to a close up of John, he lays two aces down on the table, it then cuts back to the close up of John as his poker face slowly curves into a smirk. “Looks like the last draw,” John then says wryly and then as he stands and draws a gun it returns to a wide shot of John drawing his gun in slow motion and the screen goes black. Then, when he fires the screen lights up because of the flash. The camera will aim the light source at his gun instead of John. There's a slow motion shot of him shooting a guy then it fades to black, then he changes his pose and same again for each guy but the each one is not as slow as the last then cut to title screen.
