Not really, but I guess once a gangsta always a ... con man? Or something along those lines. This is an interesting mixture of fun and action thrown together. There are real consequences of violence depicted here (vivid with blood and generally with death). But that does not mean the movie gets rid of the slapstick it wants to give the audience.
There are quite a few fun moments here. Not all work of course and you may argue that it is predictable (maybe not everything depending on how much you are enticed by the characters), but overall this is quite decent. Stunts work, story is interesting enough, what more can one want? Unless you are not into eastern movies in general of course, but then why are you here?
