The Conman (1998)
Reviewed by: Sydneyguy on 2001-02-12
Summary: Average
Nowhere as good as the older "Gambling movies" but decent enough to watch.

I re watched this movie, and this time it had the beginning to it (the bad version i saw first time around missed 5 minutes of the beginning) The beginning sets up the atmosphere and carries it through the movie.

This is more of a serious movie than most gambling movies. Andy Lau plays his part well, but there REALLy is a lack of gambling in this. Some tricks here and there but i expected more. The ending is very unrealistic but very creative as well!! (The soccer game!!)

A better movie, now that i saw the beginning!!

6/10
