"The King of Gamblers" starred by Matt Damon. Matt Damon himself graduated from Harvard University. On the one hand, he is the most popular actor in Hollywood. On the other hand, he won the Oscar for best screenplay with "Good Will Hunting" , is a genius. Whether it's "The King of Gamblers" or "Good Will Hunting," it's a story of genius, and Matt Damon has his own style of playing these kinds of roles.
The film itself is not in the same way as Hong Kong films of the same type, but a bit closer to a literary film. The film tells a simple story for two hours and does a good job of detailing. Overall, it's not an engaging movie, but it's not boring either, just bland.
