My Movie Review: The movie is alluring to watch at first but at the end doesn't meet my expectations. The story is so intriguing, strong actors with powerful performance but the ending is not enough, felt short. I think gambling in any ways is bad, once you win, you want to win more then when you lose, you want your money back at end the house always win. Don't be deceive with instant luck that make you rich, you need to work hard, no short cuts cause being rich is not all about money, is the journey your take to get there.
My Favorite Term: Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Caribbean Sea to the east.
