A huge but ingenious scam

It's a huge scam, and the participants are very smart and showy.
However, this scam is huge but not complicated. The participants have skills but it cannot be said that this scam is particularly clever. Some deductions from the scam itself are very risky and are likely to be unsuccessful. And there are many opportunities to see through this scam, but the deceived person didn't really explore it. He could be deceived, and he was stupid is the main reason. Of course, this stupidity is within the normal range. If it is replaced by us, it may not perform better, but this is a movie. We hope to see a contest between masters. What's the point of a group of monkey spirits deceiving an ordinary person?
The most important thing is that after watching this film, I don't feel very happy, I don't think that these people are so glorious, and I even feel that the deceived person has been fooled by them all the time, and has no resistance at all, which is a bit pitiful. And this film is not like many other films to deceive him in order to punish evil. The introduction to this incident was just that they accidentally bumped into a bad guy during the cheating process, but they didn't know it before cheating. If what they deceived happened to be a kind commoner, they would continue as well, wouldn't it be honorable? So the scam can be praised, but the behavior of this group of liars is not worthy of praise.
Although we don't have to promote the main theme, such a film with unknown good and evil still makes people feel not particularly pleasant after watching it.
