A City Called Macau film review: Bai Baihe in tale of misplaced affection and gambling addiction

  • Film suffers from the fact that, while its three lead actors give credible performances, none of their characters is sympathetic enough to carry its story
  • The tale of a casino broker who funds wealthy gamblers but drops her guard when she falls for an artist turned gaming addict requires a suspension of disbelief
