Shu Qi (Chapman To, not playing the award-winning actress) is an irresponsible bloke who’s only content if he’s betting on horses, cards or football matches – and he’s so gambling-addicted that even a beating or two won’t dissuade him. Shu Qi and female counterpart Flora (Fiona Sit) meet in fiery fashion when the two fight over a taxi cab – on their way to betting at the racetrack, naturally - but their enmity is laced with the spark of attraction. The initial meeting becomes serendipity when the two meet again and again, attraction giving way to love and a shared passion for high-stakes gambling. Marriage and even a child arrive, and the film goes into story overdrive, with years passing and differing professions and romantic rivals getting in the way. With divorce and a broken home threatening them, will Shu Qi and Flora recall their salad days of insatiable, self-destructive gambling in time to save their marriage? [ - ]
