blackjack

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0126816/

john woo's blackjack features the dumbest heroic weakness ever: fear of the color white.  i mean, really?  white?  oh, but he is ok so long as he keeps his shades on.  it was all tied to his father, who was a vegas card-counter.  it was just one more thing in a string of things that did not make sense.  you know what else does not make sense?  me watching all these godawful movies.

blackjack gets an ace of diamonds.  you might think that is awesome because an ace is a high-ranking card, but i would remind you that there is another interpretation, which is that it is the "one" card.
