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. Yo…
