personal impression

1. Edward Norton and Matt Damon, um, I first watched it for the actors and characters, and the extra star was also for that. 2. The male and female protagonists are all blonde sweethearts, and the rare ones are not black and gold. 3. The bugs can have such a base friend and really saved the galaxy in the past life. 4. Mike is also stupid, and he is misunderstood by friends and does not explain 5. Some kind of meaning The above theme is also a brave dream. It's just that realizing the value of life at the gambling table is destined to be unacceptable to the world 6. It's hard to say whether Mike will eventually move forward or fall into the abyss again 7. Talent is such a cruel gift. Mike accused the bugs of being a fool, but isn't he not as skilled as a person who has gone the wrong way? 8. What's so delicious about Oreos? Let the Russians like it so much. 9. As someone who doesn't know how to play landlords, I feel that although I can't understand what they are playing, it's awesome. 10. When I watch it, sexy beauties are scrolling all the way on the screen to deal cards online.

11. I think it's better than "God of Gamblers", mainly because the handsome guy is not as handsome as a mortal hahaha, and the dialogue and characters in this film are good~ 12. Matt Damon is so suitable to play this kind of American good boy, Norton's little boy Punks are also typical 13. Monologues and dialogues are excellently written. All kinds of God of Gamblers' sayings are just right, forceful upup

14. Although this kind of talent looks cool in the movie, it is not good in reality~ Just like no one wants to have the talent to kill and rob...

15. "The Godfather" says that a person can only have one destiny. Running away from your talents is either mediocre, painful, or both.

15. If you win the money and leave immediately and do nothing in the face of the provocation of the Russians, maybe the future will be turned upside down? Mike is still a law student and has a promising future. He occasionally plays an addiction solver, but he never loses and goes bankrupt. Maybe he can get back with his girlfriend, become a lawyer after graduation, live a middle-class life, and finally make a clean break from the days when he was drunk and drunk. But never if. Because there is no accident in the world, all accidents are inevitable. No matter how cool and self-contained Mike had been at the gaming table, he was still a gambler at heart. That means he can make decisions in a split second that might cost him nothing. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is undoubtedly absurd. This also means that only the feeling of falling from the top to the bottom and climbing from the abyss to the top of the mountain can stir his nerves. Amid the rush of chips, an unparalleled joy and pride slammed into Mike's head, like a fireworks exploding. He had never experienced this kind of feeling in court, nor had he felt it when he was in love with his girlfriend. Only when he was at the gambling table, his eyes fixed on the cards in his hand, and the sound of stacking chips rang in his ears, did he feel it? Really feel it. A natural gambler, no matter how misguided, will eventually come back to the table.

    The reason I didn't give it five stars is because I don't understand the poker jargon...it's actually a pretty good movie.
