Very educational, relatable and relistic
I live in South East Asia. Online bet, illegal online loans, love scams you name it, is an occurring problems an epidemic that really wreck havoc in many household. Like in this movie they showed an guy from an upper middle class, very well educated but got an online gambling problem. Meanwhile in my country this online betting disease is targeting lower class, this movie trying to say that online gambling will targeting at everyone regardless their economic background or social background. What's insane is that, China have a very strict internet control and online betting, scamming is still happening in the country. Imagine where the internet is not so regulated. Boom an epidemic. Also some of the workers who went to work in those "factory" are also victims of human trafficking. Some were aware that they're going to work in that kind of place because they have no other choice for work. Very sad.If you say this is a chinese propaganda kind of movie. I mean, the Chinese police really did and go to SEA to get these workers. It's all over the news.
The acting are sooo good.
Many people should watch this for educational purposes and awareness.

Watch this for my Alphabet challenge. But hufh.... What a ride...Story about crime organizations that involves in gambling, bet, and overall just cheat people in all possible ways by using women and interesting advertising.
This movie choose the uprising problems in the world these days, where many people really being trap in these evil web.
They bring out the sensitivity of the problem & the victim. They emphasize that the victims not only the one that being swindle over they money, but also the face in the screen, like the women whose job as the dealer.
It’s really a hard world & people so easy being trap inside it, with all the promises they given at the beginning.
The minus this movie had for me is simply they make the person who's in charge, the true perpetrator not so crazy and the way they get captured is a little too easy. I hope we can get to see more from the police side, the investigation & the action they need to do to disassemble all of it

Honest Review
This movie made 3.8 billion RMB box office so I was curious and after watching it, I totally get why. It is off the bat captivating and a very realistic subject we can all relate to. Who doesn't want to make some fast cash? Cyber fraud is very real nowadays playing into the minds of those struggling wishing to make a quick fortune. It is base on a true story which is totally my thing but I would not trust all the details with any China movie/drama. However it is directed beautifully, well cast, fast pace, engaging, relatable and a great subject to warn society about a very real problem. I would say every actor did their job but female lead and the villains shined the most and their characters are more challenging.Was this review helpful to you?
Wrong information
Wrong info and wrong facts about Burma(Myanmar).This is kind of Chinese propaganda movie.
Director did not check true facts OR he just directed wrongly even though wrong information.
These evil organisations in this movie really exist not only in Myanmar but also in other countries (especially in Southeast Asia). Clearly, the director doesn't check about these cases and crimes. He puts a frame on Myanmar as a bad country. In reality, all the people who ruled these organisations are CHINESE. Even Myanmar people are victims of these organisations. This movie spreads misleading informations just to make money.
Plus, the actress in this movie also made fun of Myanmar people dying (because of complex political situations in Myanmar) on douyin once.
Those gangs and their businesses are wholly managed by Chinese people, not myanmar people. Even myanmar citizens are victims there.
I'm sure production team has more than enough time to check but they chose to make look good for Chinese people as heroes and look bad on myanmar people as terrible and scary.
karma will come to all of you.
Credit all

Relate to my life
Watching this, make me more realize that scammer is not working alone. They work in group, make us think that there is another person who need help like us. But actually ? They just scam us.I got scammer when I am at my bottom life. Need a loan and here I get a loan but I should give 10% first.
Anyways, I am not want to talk about it in here but, what I wanna say is this film really relate to us.
Never, ever, trust in something that can bring us fast money.
In the end, we will dry until we have nothing.
Its called circle of doom.
