HK Neo Reviews: My Name is Nobody, 22 November 2011

Author: (webmaster@thehkneo.com) from Australia

Not what you expect from a Wong Jing Production, but we all know he is capable for producing quality darker comedies. This is a perfect example when Wong Jing can restrain himself and allowing his stars to shine. Nick Cheung performs at his restrain best, while he is ably assisted by the ever dependable Shu Qi. Certainly it is not the best gambling movie, nor is it filled with creative sequences, but the film goes to a darker territory, not usually seen in most Jing's Production we have grown used to. Not exactly touching, but edgy enough and that's probably good enough from the Jing's Factory…

Neo rates it 6.5/10.

Gambling, Triads, Romance, Deception and Revenge, 11 November 2001

Author: vonboise

The movie's theme evolves around a professional gambler. Didn't much care for the character's early on, but that changed as the story evolved. Starts with our lead and accomplices setting someone up in a card game and winning a large sum. This sham causes the triad to enter the picture and with the usual arm twisting convince the group to work for them.

As the story unfolds our gambler falls for a blind girl who is saving up for an eye operation. Her father, an addicted gambler, would pinch her seeing eye dog if she had one. Not many surprises in this movie, as it seems to follow the normal format for a gambling movie. The plus was on the acting side and even though familiar, they kept story interesting.

Mildly Entertaining, At Best, But Not Horrid., 24 March 2007

Author: Fiendish_Dramaturgy from .: Fiendish Writings in the Dark :.

Surprisingly ... weird.

As a kid, I grew up watching Italian Westerns, what they called a "spaghetti western," many which boasted a star or two and featured weird, twisty, nonsensical endings. This ran like that, with some big names, off color characters, and cliché after cliché.

The characters are hard to know in the beginning, and harder to like, but as the story progresses, the characters are ingratiated to the audience, and the story makes more sense the further in you get.

I'm not saying that made the movie good because that would be a lie. This movie isn't good. It is mildly entertaining, at best, with little to no moral center, but for a movie about a gambler and a conman, it wasn't horrid.

Although, if you've watched the Trinity movies (which serve as prequels to this), you will enjoy it all the more.

It rates a 4.6/10 from...
