Three protagonists

Hook: Apprentice of street liar Luther, gambling, lascivious, and pushy. After Luther was killed, inspirational revenge.

Keldorf: The long-established old Jianghu is "famous" in the police circle and has great appeal in the deception circle. Luther's old friend.

Lonergan: The leader of the underworld, ruthless, not good at drinking, not lustful, likes to gamble, good at bosses, and he will be punished. Order to kill Luther and Hook. Luther was killed, but Hook failed.

Synopsis: The three of Hooke deceived Lonergan's messenger for 10,000 knives, and Lonergan ordered to kill Hooke and his master Luther. After Luther was killed, Hook was determined to take revenge and found the king of deception, Kondorf, for help. Together, they finally succeeded in defrauding Lonergan of 500,000 dollars. Great success.

In one go, there is no urination point in the whole process, it is fun and dripping, clapping and cheering, and it is very addicting. By the end of the film, I can't stop thinking about what happened.

The story of the film is concise and clear, the progress is made step by step, the framework is firm, the logic is rigorous, the rhythm is lively, the details are handled properly, and the soundtrack is just right. Please give me another 100 such videos, I can't restrain my admiration at all. Pay homage.

The whole climax, as soon as it comes up, there will be a small climax. It's a show of being clever but being mistaken by cleverness, and the one who has the last laugh is the winner. The part where Hook went to Koldoff was a little dull, focusing on a decadent cheating king after a failure. But it's not procrastinating, and it's a good start and turn. The last big scam is like a big game of chess, where everyone is a pawn and plays their role.

Everything you see is cleverly arranged and meticulously designed. If you need a horse betting hall, build one directly. If you don’t have a telegraph room, you can cheat one out immediately (these bridges were later widely imitated). They can be tycoons, plasterers, or even the FBI, any professional organization or person will appear whenever the need arises.

If you encounter such a professional gang, just lie down and obey. Stop worrying about why so many people still fall into wire scams.
