I like this movie. It has an interesting story about gambling. And gambling is all about trust and luck, and they portray that really well in this story.

Now to Kaiji. He is a gambler, has no money, has a bad life and is in debt. He runs from one misfortune to the next misfortune. He is too nice and people manipulate him with the idea that he can change his life. In reality, bad people use his desperation for their own entertainment. He is smart and that helps him a lot. And what I really like about him is that he fights for others. He is too nice and complicates his life when other people would make different choices. It is interesting to see what he does next. But we don't know much about his life at all.

People often complain that the actors are overacting, but I don't understand that point. This movie is an adaptation, so the actors act like the characters in the manga. The acting is good most of the time.

Overall, I can say that the movie is very well done and I can recommend it to everyone. The games are also great and very interesting.
