A silly, entertaining movie

This review assumes you are an Indian and not much familiar with Japanese Comics called Manga on which this film is based.All the characters in this film are Gamblers and almost every scene is people gambling or betting and cheating to win.You should watch this film for a) The way the hero reveals how the person betting against him cheated. 2) Risky bets the hero makes against various opponents putting his life on line and giving the viewers a taste of adventure 3) Outlandish Gamblers with ridiculous personalities shown in Film 4) Cute Heroine and comedy scenes involving her.Following things will put you down a) In one or two cases, how the hero catches his opponents cheating is not very clear b) Ending is left very open, which is frustrating for viewers wanting clear conclusion to story.
