why....................


.............not have the Japanese guy write down the number of the player? will's going to take his work for it for that amount of money? just lost me, also the guy has to drive his car right into will/margots car to bring him in?
I guess they thought it was a cool scene but theres a good chance they both end up in the hospital or dead, he could've just grabbed them and brought him....ok, ive turned into one of those people...sigh

Yeah, it the crash was hokey. But the whale would tell the truth. That much money means nothing to him.

Exactly right about D.B. Wong's character....For him, the fun is not in the win; it is in the excitement of the game.

If money meant anything to him, he would not have offered the out clause.

reply

yeah I know we're supposed to think that but with everything that has to work in that scene....wong has to overhear them first, then Will has to lose all the early bets, wong and margot both have to see #55 (wong was programmed to pick up on it but margot could've easily missed him in the moment, just seemed to be pushing the limits of reality

reply

Will didn't have to lose all the early bets, he just had to lose a couple in a row at some point. He would have made bets with the odds less in his favor until he got where he wanted to be.

Chinese...and I did find that scene very far fetched. They really switched out the overhead lights?!?
