After reading it, I found that most people came to see Jason Statham, so this is a good explanation of the reason for the low score. On the one hand, it is the story and rhythm. On the other hand, everyone is looking forward to the protagonist’s play. Expect how many exciting fighting scenes. However, the fighting scene did not satisfy the audience, so naturally the audience quit. The audience decided Jason Statham's positioning to death, so they will inevitably be disappointed in this movie. In fact, as far as the content is concerned, playing drama is the embellishment in this movie. The subject of life and human nature is reality, desire and dream in the first place. Can and can’t, do or not, in the final analysis is a multiple-choice question. So don’t think of this movie as Jason in the past Judging from Statham's action movies, this may be different from his previous masterpieces. The film should be easy to understand. Of course, I have always insisted on my consistent idea. Different people seek what he wants from different movies. There are also some meanings that I only see what I want to see. It is enough for the audience to feel the part of the emotion that affects the audience. I may not really understand the gambler even if he is a close relative, but I can understand the choice of the protagonist, this is human nature, everyone has human nature. So I think that watching the performance of the movie is a success on this point. The protagonist always thought that he wanted to leave his current life, but when he could leave one day, he hesitated again. He found that the dream he had always insisted on was just a number he always talked about? It's just a number (he understood when he saw the banknotes being counted in the currency exchange window), he didn't have the number he hoped to get, and it was not enough. This number gave him an excuse to continue his current life. He has always needed this excuse to live in this interface for five years. Until this number is realized overnight, his life will be different. At this time, he understands instead that he only wants a number, and the number has no meaning. (So he collapsed). How should he choose, whether to change or maintain the life he is accustomed to now, since it is a gambling that reflects his gambling nature, he naturally chooses to decide by gambling, just like throwing a coin at a fork in the road. . There is another possibility (I personally prefer this statement), maybe the protagonist has been using this dream as a motivation to persist until now, and one day the dream comes true, and he loses this motivation, and he feels that all this becomes meaningless. The new life is more challenging for him. This is what he is afraid of. His "fear" is also reflected in the fact that he did not agree to avenge his ex-girlfriend at the time. He was always in a state of avoidance or detour. Until his dream, or his spiritual sustenance, reappeared in his mind, and every time it was spiritual sustenance supporting him to directly face the problem and make a counterattack. Add a content about the protagonist's "coward", just like the double acting in the beginning of the movie. The protagonist was scolded by his friends as a coward. Although he was acting, his line-like sentence was freely expressed by his friends, and the protagonist was alive. Gun, because the protagonist listened to this coward, the speaker did not want to listen to it intentionally, subconsciously, he is a coward. His friend took the woman to Atlantic City to start a new life, which at this point also insinuates the protagonist, his new life and his courage. Maybe this is a fake drama between friends—the protagonist doesn’t like women being cheated by their friends. Or a little bit jealous, deliberately wanting to make a bald friend look ugly, and then reveal the friend's wig; the friend is not happy about revealing the wig, and tells his true thoughts about the protagonist, coward. The free-playing double reed has a somewhat unexpected weight, so it is inevitable that these two people will be mixed with real feelings and show them. When it comes to friendship, the protagonist is definitely a friend, and this is his life-helping friends. This also explained that although he refused to agree with his mouth, his body honestly went to avenge his ex-girlfriend. In the past five years, he was used to getting along with friends, but when he was about to leave the casino to start a new life, he was afraid that he would lose the focus of life without any friends. This is like people on duty looking forward to retirement, really retired, and afraid of being empty and having nothing to do. Click on the next question, everyone is a coward, and the two cowards in the movie have their own gains in the end. The young man learns to recognize himself and accept himself from the protagonist, and no longer be afraid of the so-called troubles of himself. Of course, the protagonist also gets courage from the youth (of course, he also gets money), no longer fears the new life, and drives away. So this winning trump card is courage. (This can't be said bluntly) The last light card is very interesting, will it come back again? Make a sequel? You know the urinary sex of gamblers, most of them will come back...

I watched it again in the evening. Here I want to correct it, as to why Wild did not exchange 500,000 chips but returned to the gaming table because he thought that 500,000 would only allow him to leave the casino temporarily. He is now holding good luck and has a chance to win more, so he can never have to go back to the casino. He wants to win more. Wild looks like an out-and-out gambler at this time. He wants more money, and what he really wants is freedom in exchange for money.
My friends from Wild left the casino one by one and reminded me that they would have to pay it back sooner or later. But I think these are all short-term departures, including Wild, who originally wanted to live freely elsewhere for 5 years, and after 5 years, he knew he would come back. What Wild wants is once and for all, leaving the casino forever and pursuing eternal freedom. But how much money is enough for eternal freedom? There may not be an answer to this question, at least it is not explained by a number, and money cannot be used to measure freedom. It seemed that God couldn't stand it anymore, and Wild lost his luck in the last fight.
So what are the cowards afraid of? In fact, we are all looking for what we want, and everyone is afraid that what we are looking for does not exist. In fact, the best part is the search process rather than the result. Even if it didn't exist, the process of searching gave meaning to life because of believing in his existence.
