Quick Takes:Challenge Of The Gamesters

Over the top should be applied to here, from the unexplained kung-fu, gun violence, silver backed killing playing cards, the theme from God of Gamblers or Shanghai Grand playing randomly and mahjong parlor tricks. The plot is largely unnecessary because it's really forgotten by the half hour mark until brought up again at the end. Between this and King of Gamblers, this movie would rate slightly lower since it was all over the place trying to please everyone or keep everyone tuned to what's going to happen next. One thing that bugged me is that some scenes look sped up as a result of the film not having enough frames in it, so that waiters and everyone else are unusually animated. Even slow motion scenes felt speed up due to this. Overall, it's a pretty entertaining movie despite have no core.
