When Yuen refuses to pay extra tribute to the gang that smuggled him into the country, Vahe tries to mediate. He knows the smugglers and thinks he can work things out.

An Undiscovered GemJun 25, 2008
By Bruce Frigeri
"Amateur Film Critic"
I saw Gamblers at a film festival several years ago and was totally blown away by its hard hitting style. This film would be a hit if it was ever re-made in English. Imagine a young Robert De Niro as the lead and you'll get the idea. The director of Gamblers did a great job. I believe this was his first film. Factor in the themes of cross racial love and illegal immigration and you have a great foundation on which to create an excellent film.
People forget that there is a great tradition of gangster and street hustler films in French Cinema. Gamblers fits right into that lineage. It is priced fairly here and I highly recommend it.
