Summary: Another Gambling Movie
Review: Andy Lau stars as a conman in this movie. Don't be mistaken by the title, this film has no correlation to his role in God of Gambling series. Released from jail for a crime he committed during a gambling game with a mob head where he killed him, he came out searching for his lost wife only to find Cheung Ka Fai, an admirer of his, to be around when he was released from jail. The story goes and talks about different ways to con people and how conman makes a living from card games to horse races. Athena Chu, the female lead plays Cheung's sister meets up with Andy and they two fall in love. The story goes on about Andy discovering his loss wife and the setup to gamble with the #1 Asian gambler to play a game of Big 2 with someone wanting to take revenge and win it all.

Summary: what is this movie?
Review: well, i guess the editing made it bad( i watched it on tv). but honestly, i think Andy is getting old.......the storyline is simple, King, a gambler, is color blind and is looking for his lost wife and son. He meets dragon, whom was told to take care of King and be his apprentice or soething to make some money. The story goes to tell you how King falls in love with Dragon's sister.

mediocre movie....andy lau didnt fight the way i want. but i still got love for this guy tho...check out fulltime killer
