      Was fooled

      Al Pacillo must be the selling point of this movie. In fact, the movie is very simple. A gambler finds a genius kid who can predict winning or losing, trains him, and uses him. Because there is Al Paciro in the movie, I have always felt that I was watching a movie through the veil. In the end, I found that there was no veil, no surprises expected, only deep disappointment. I don’t know what the screenwriter or director thinks. Since there is no amazing ending, at the beginning, don’t give so...

      How to regain the focus of life

      I made this film because of the two starring actors Al Pacino and Matthew McConaughey.
      I know why I like Charlie, because he looks like Matthew.

      I don’t see many sports-related movies like this.
      But there are a few that I still like very much, Iron Blood Coach, Mr. Sweetheart, weakness.

      An athlete with a leg injury had to bid farewell to his sports career, but because of the accurate analysis of various data in the game, he can always predict the result.

      Human blemish

      Sometimes, you don’t need a reason to like a movie. Everything is right when it feels right.

      Earphones, backpacks, sleeveless sweatshirts and shorts. When Matthew McConaughey was riding on the road car in the sunshine, talking with the beauty in the car next to him, the voice of Unwritten Law erupted like this. "you can't save me, you can't change me, well, i'm waiting for my wake-up call, and everything, everything is my fault."

      Maybe, I originally liked this kind of...

      Two for the Money (2005)

      "Two for the Money" is also suitable for the start of the new year. The story revolves around gambling. Broadly speaking, every moment of life is a bet. I remember that on Christmas Eve, you and your boyfriend arranged a two-person world, a candlelight buffet dinner, and a Wanghai hotel room. Unexpectedly, it was not as good as the sky. The abdominal pain came early. Apart from the disappointment, you also blamed yourself a little. You lost this round.

      Al Pacino plays the owner of an...

      Matthew was great ten years ago. This is a movie that seriously explores the mentality of gamblers. Pacino plays the crazy state of gamblers who lose their minds step by step, rely on false gods, and regard failure as drugs. Coin toss and heart disease are metaphors. . Off topic, the ear is really a woman's G-spot... This film is a bit basic, rotten girls can go on, Pacino even loves Matthew's...
