"High stakes and high danger rule the elite world of professional gambling, where only one man can be the God of Gamblers. He is played by the thoroughly disarming Chow Yun-fat. His uncanny ability to beat unbeatable odds never fails him, until a sudden accident causes him to lose his memory. He is rescued by a small-time con man and his friends, who discover his talent and try to coax him into winning them a fortune. Eluding killers, raiding casinos, and betting against time, the two men form a surprising partnership. God of Gamblers adds a new twist to the buddy adventure with high tension gambling scenes that are electrifying." (Asian CineVision) "Chow Yun-fat's on-screen persona cloaks Clint Eastwood's man out of time in Cary Grant drag. Chow is contemporary Hong Kong, most potently so in God of Gamblers, Hong Kong's second highest grossing picture of the decade....The wave of gambling films inspired by God of Gamblers has yet to break. In Hong Kong, the pressure's on and the stakes are higher than ever." (Richard Gehr, Village Voice)
