I never liked the films of this famous director

I have always disliked the films of this famous director. When I watched The Wolf of Wall Street, I had the urge to walk out of the theater. Director Ma's rhythm is something I can't stand. It's very flat, not the fast or slow rhythm. If he can add some immobile smoking in the middle, the twenty-minute shot of thinking about something is also good. But he just chugs like a submachine gun, it's okay to watch a little bit, and after half an hour, he gets bored.

What is this film trying to convey?

The love of Hong Kong films? no.

What I can see is some nostalgia for the old days, only from the last paragraph of the self-report.
Or, like a documentary, it tells how the casinos in the past acted, and they did a good job in this regard.
Even if the above two points are achieved, what is the point.

I think this movie is overrated. Certainly some lenses are quite good.
