After watching Wang Jing's brand-name Hong Kong gambling films, and then watching Hollywood's so-called gambling films, it is a little boring. There is no dazzling card skills, no bizarre special functions, no underworld, no beautiful cars, is this still called gambling? Maybe this is the so-called cultural difference. However, Wang Jing's gambling films, apart from entertainment, have nothing left. And this film is an inspirational film in the coat of gambling. The point of gambling films is to attract more people to gamble, or to keep more people away from gambling? At least the gist of the film is clear.
The film is adapted from the true story of MIT Chinese student Ma Kaiwen. It is said that Brother Ma also played the role of a casino dealer in the film, but he didn't pay attention. Since it is a true story, it will naturally not be as imaginative as Hong Kong gambling films, everyone will change, but use the method of probability to count cards, relying on scientific theories and amazing memory. Of course, because it's a real event in history, it can't be written more clearly, otherwise Vegas casinos will protest, if people watch this film and learn to count cards, then they don't lose money. Therefore, it is a pity that the most outstanding part of this film has been blurred. But as I said before, this is purely an inspirational film in the guise of a gambling film. You see, in the end, didn't the protagonist get a full scholarship without gambling? From lost to found, very skilled Hollywood inspirational ideas.

    There is no spark in the opponent's play, the story is mediocre

    It turns out that it is an educational film with a revenge theme, and children should not be greedy.
