ONE MORE CHANCE

別叫我''賭神''

genres:

Water Ng (Hong Kong legend Chow Yun Fat) is a down-on-his-luck gambler living in Macau with no social responsibilities, until one day he is asked to take care of his ex-girlfriend''s son, Yeung. When she tells him that Yeung is his son and promises a substantive envelope full of cash, Water agrees to be a father for one month. Soon he notices his son has Autism. He gets to understand the difficulties of raising a child with special needs. With China’s gambling utopia of Macau as the backdrop and a man-child who slowly bonds with his long lost family, one would think this is set up for a RAIN MAN knock-off but it takes off in a different direction. Water soon bonds with his son, leading to a tearful third-act, in an unabashedly old-fashioned melodrama fueled by a surprisingly different performance by Chow Yun Fat, in this redemption tale about a lousy addict-dad turned good, he’s a safe bet for any gambling table.

吹水輝(周潤發飾)為賭場常客,在賭桌上輸得身無分文。他和好友花叔(廖啟智飾)、表弟肥狗(白只飾)有一間小理髮店,但卻無法支持他的賭博嗜好。吹水輝的前女友李夕(袁詠儀飾)突然出現,要求他照顧「他們」的兒子李陽(柯煒林飾)一個月,並奉上酬金。見錢開眼的吹水輝敷衍了事接下了褓姆任務,才發現兒子是自閉症患者。獨居的吹水輝完全無法應付這兒子的特殊需求,父子關係日趨緊繃……隨著李陽逐漸展現出天賦,吹水輝也彷彿找到了人生目標,下定決心脫離過去的荒唐人生,陪伴兒子展翅圓夢。
