It is a very interesting film filled with romance, brawl, and passion. When Mark founded his <a href="http://www.confessionsofahighbrow.com/">aztec riches casino</a> and began a "war" with his opponents, I doubted whether he would be able to win his beloved woman, hold his wealth and casino. However, it was not worth it. Of course, I will not tell you the most interesting moments in the movie. You should look at it yourself. Then you will understand my admiration. For women, there is an incredible story of love, and for men - fights, money, and gambling. Maybe I repeat, but the movie is really worth watching
