Always Be the Winners delivers a unique blend of comedic elements and gambling drama. The rivalry between Third Master Sha, played by Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, and Ekin Cheng's Yam Tin Sau is both entertaining and filled with tension, showing the stakes of family honor in the world of gambling. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it has its charm, especially with the quirky ensemble cast. What really stands out is the performance of Tony Leung Ka-fai as the China King of Gamblers, who adds a layer of depth and humor. The film leans heavily on character interactions rather than just gambling sequences, making it feel more like a character study wrapped in comedy. It's a fascinating watch for those who appreciate the nuances of Hong Kong cinema in the '90s.
