In fact it feels much like an updated Shaw-style movie along the lines of Takeshi Kaneshiros HERO, although it isnt an action. When Japanese troops invade Hong Kong, young Benny Ho flees to Macau and rises to the top of the city's casino business with pluck, diligence and wit. In the finale, Benny overcomes his enemies but at great personal cost. CASINO TYCOON is more of a laidback and mannered piece of work, reminiscent of GOODFELLAS in the long-term, expansive storytelling, told on a budget which does the story justice without it ever feeling epic in scope. Benny engages in a battle of wits against his college rival and business enemies. Once in Macau, he starts as a lowly coolie but he impresses a local business man who has ties to organised crime, and slowly builds his way up the ranks. Set in World War II, Casino Tycoon chronicles the story of Benny, a young graduate played by Andy Lau, who flees Hong-Kong during the Japanese invasion and heads for gambling haven Macau. It was followed by the sequel Casino Tycoon 2, which was released the same year. The film is inspired by stories of Stanley Ho, Henry Fok and Yip Hon. A tale of greed, deception, money, power, and murder occur between two best friends: a mafia enforcer and a casino executive, compete against each other.
