Professor Mickey was caught by Ben in revenge for his insatiable greed for money

Ben was finally eaten by Kou of his hard-earned chips because this was Kou's territory, and all of this was within his control. Ben was just bait.

This shows that smart people can also be deceived

Because others see your greedy desires, they can lure you and control you by hanging a radish

Because your intelligence is not all-sided, you have to learn to understand people's hearts

You still have a lot to learn

We have to learn to be content, to see what is important beyond money: friendship and love.

    The theme itself is very attractive and leads to a good car and sheep problem. Unfortunately, the director did not grasp the rhythm of the progress of the plot well. Many playing skills only pay attention to the visual effect, and the result is easy to confuse the audience and feel affected Ignoring and insulting the Life Experience is really important MIT revisited the scene and is optimistic about the future development of Jim Sturgess

    The protagonist is very smart. In the face of money, he still becomes a chaser, but the process is different from ordinary people, more exciting, faster, and more naked. Even at the end of the villain getting the punishment he deserves, I still don't think Ben escaped and returned to his true nature. He was still unwilling and yearning, and just accepted the reality. The clipping of the casino scene is too rough, the emotional drama is lackluster, and the characters are not three-dimensional and full. Therefore, in general, the film is too impetuous, not thought-provoking, just watchable.
