This Movie does for Gambling.. Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10

What 'A Better Tomorrow' did for Heroic Bloodshed!
This film is an excellent mix of Comedy and Action, with a little emotional drama thrown in just for good measure, This Movie Features Chow Yun-Fat as Ko Chun, a Master Gambler who is hired by a Japanese Nightclub Magnate named Wang to play a game against the so called "Devil of Gamblers' Chan Sing, in order to avenge Wang's father, who lost a game to Chan and died of shame. The Catch? Chan is known for Cheating and not playing by the rules, so Wang provides Ko Chun with a Bodyguard named Dragon, who plays a major part in the movie's various action scenes.

Unfortunately, our hero Ko Chun accidentally falls into a trap set by local Ruffian Knife Chen (Andy Lau) while walking home from a Gambling match, and subsequently loses his memory, yet leaving his supernatural gambling skill intact. He is soon taken in by Knife and His Girlfriend (Joey Wong) and while trying regaining his memory, helps them out with his Amazing gambling skill, while dodging various adversaries and obstacles along the way...

All in all, God of Gamblers is quite a classy film, and while there are some great jokes and comedic characters (as we can expect from Wong Jing) some of the action in the film seems a little out of place. Chow Shines as usual in his role as Ko Chun, making the character just as memorable as the likes of Mark Gor, and Andy and Joey heads a decent supporting cast which includes Such regulars as Shing Fui On and Comedic Favourite Ng Man Tat, as well as a nice cameo by Michiko Nishiwaki (Of My Lucky Stars Fame).

God of Gamblers was a landmark film which spawned a whole new genre of gambling films, yet has seldom been bettered. Highly recommended for Not just Chow Yun Fat fans, but anyone who thinks Chow and Andy can't do anything but drama and people who think Wong Jing can't direct a decent film.

PS. As par for the course of most Mei Ah releases, the English Subtitles aren't all that great, but that shouldn't deter Western Fans, as Mei Ah have done a great job in restoring many of the scenes deleted from most other versions.
