Review

Nick Cheung in another gambling show. ^-^

        No-Name (Nick Cheung) is an orphan who has mastered the art of gambling. He has an entourage that included Lo (Wong Jing), Chun (Benny Lai Chun), and Scum (Ray Pang). He goes to Shenzhen from time to time to gamble and win plenty of money. However, they win by hustling people by faking deaths where No-Name kills Lo. The only one who cannot accept the business they do is Mee (Monica Chan), Lo's girlfriend of ten years. One day, No-Name sees the beautiful model Candy (Shu Qi), a blind woman who is making money to go to the USA to repair her eyes. However, her money is constantly stolen by Chicken (Hui Siu-Hung), Candy's father who is a gambling addict.

        Chun decides to help No-Name win Candy only if he learns the tricks to become a master gambler. The plan works and Chun learns the skills necessary to become an expert gambler. No-Name gets a job working for Tough Ho (Lung Fong), the Shenzhen crime boss. They split winnings all the time. However, one night, No-Name is stunned to see Chicken as one of the card players. When No-Name decides to let Chicken win to get money for Candy, Chun is sent to get the money back. No-Name tries to escape and ends up knocked out by Chun, who has betrayed his once friend. No-Name ends up in the hospital and is blinded. Losing his sight, he cannot see Candy take off to USA to get her eyes healed.

        Six months later, Candy returned to Hong Kong, with her eyesight restored. However, No-Name, Lo, and Mee have disappeared. Chun ends up owning the bar but in a shocker, Scum, who has always been the bullied member of the group, has joined sides with Chun. When Candy reunited with the now blind No-Name, No-Name does not want to see her at first. However, No-Name soon realizes thanks to talking with a priest (Spencer Lam), that he must do what it takes to become a master gambler again, with his sight obscured. Once he has mastered his technique, he is ready to seek revenge against Chun. The two are set for a showdown and to be fair, Yiu of the Hung Hing Society is to be the judge of the game.

        Will no-name get his revenge? Will he and Candy end up together?
