“Colin Farrell plays a gambler who meets an enigmatic woman who suddenly changes his luck — but at a cost.”

The film currently ranks fourth in Netflix’s popularity charts, keeping audiences captivated with its suspenseful twists and dark glamour. It stars Colin Farrell, Fala Chen, and Deanie Ip.

Casino (1995)

For a classic journey into gambling’s underworld, Martin Scorsese’s Casino (1995) remains a masterpiece of crime cinema.

“Every time I meet someone new, I think of how it started with Ace and the Tangiers — all business, all risk.”

With Scorsese’s signature direction and powerhouse performances, this epic stands as one of the definitive portraits of organized crime in America.
