Don't Call Me 'Gambling God': Audience Gambled Wrong

The audience criticized 'Don't Call Me 'Gambling God'' for its outdated formula that failed to keep up with the new era of filmmaking, stating that it still clings to the ideas of the older generation of Hong Kong filmmakers. The plot is filled with clichés and feels awkward, with only a few surprises from the cast, but that's about it.

Some viewers bluntly said, 'When you decide to watch this film, you've made a bad bet. The movie theater is like a casino. Don't worry about the sunk cost. Just leave after half an hour. It's even more of a loss if you miss the bus.'

'Don't Call Me 'Gambling God'' tells the story of Huī (played by Chow Yun-fat), a carefree braggart who agrees to temporarily take care of his ex-girlfriend Li Xi's (played by Anita Yuen) son Li Yang (played by Ke Wei-lin) for a price of one hundred thousand. Later, he discovers that the child is his biological son and has autism, which changes his life forever. As the father-son bond grows stronger, they face the news of Li Xi's death. Huī decides to shoulder the responsibility of being a father and embarks on a new chapter in life with his son.
