Reviews

The Saint of Gamblers, directed by Wong Jing, received mixed reviews upon its release in 1995. While some critics praised the film for its entertaining blend of action, comedy, and gambling elements, others found the plot to be convoluted and the character development lacking depth. Rotten Tomatoes labeled it as 'a fun yet forgettable addition to the gambling movie genre,' highlighting the charismatic performance of Eric Kot Man-Fai as one of the film's strengths. On the other hand, IMDb users gave it a modest rating of 5.0/10, with some viewers expressing disappointment in the predictability of the storyline and the reliance on clichés. Despite its flaws, 'The Saint of Gamblers' managed to capture the essence of the gambling world with its flashy visuals and fast-paced sequences, making it a decent choice for fans of the genre.
