Blackjack, also known as John Woo’s Blackjack is a 1998 TV action film or more specifically a backdoor pilot (of a proposed TV series shot like a film so that it can be used as a one off if it doesn't get picked up) directed by John Woo. Dolph Lundgren stars as a former US Marshal turned detective and bodyguard who has a phobia of the colour white, that needs to stop an assassin.
The film was originally meant to be the pilot episode of a series focusing around Dolph Lundgren's character Jack Devlin but it was not accepted as a series.
