Great movie

Rating: 9/10 (22 January 2020)

I really enjoyed this movie in how the dialogue happened between characters and the bit of added foreshadowing at the beginning. I also thought that the acting wasn't cheesy which made the film seem for realistic to the audience. The only thing I could critique on this film is how some of the open endedness of particular parts in the film like: what happened to the Professor?, did he get killed?, did Ben get the scholarship at the end of the movie?, and how can the professor give Ben his credits back when he is currently getting the life beating out of him by the casino owner?
One thing that I took away from the movie is that what comes around goes around. This can relate back to how the professor took everything away from Ben and left him not even being able to graduate and with no money, which led to Ben fakingly asking for forgiveness to get revenge and set up his professor with the casino owner. This movie has lots of good life lessons that the audience could take away. One major takeaway is how you can't take life for granted because it can get taken away in a second.
