this film has some issues. the first act is very captivating and the gambling scene was 100% hands down the best part of this film. but the second act... dear god. the second act is a complete mess, the first part of the second act get lost in itself and doesnt really know where it's going. the ending is so fast it feels rushed, with the whole, "this is what happened, no this is what actually happened, but wait, this is what actually happened" happening in the span of under 10 minutes. the film really focuses in on the action in the first act but by the end of the second act it blurs into discord.
