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 many hints in the middle of the story. The purpose of cultivating Matthew is to help him when he is betting on football. Win money? And that infinite confidence is just because of his gambler's mentality that he must lose? And the heart attack at any time, just to enhance the credibility or the lace to show his acting skills? So the joke that pretended to be dead at the airport was just a joke? This is definitely fooling the audience!
Good evaluation, wrong director, wrong screenwriter, dedicated to two actors! If you evaluate the screenwriter, it's definitely bad!
