观众心声
全片最喜欢的一场戏是小子用自己精湛的牌技逗得岳父岳母连连大笑，这是不计筹码无关输赢的扑克牌所带来的单纯快乐，然而对于一个职业赌徒而言，所承受的远比快乐要沉重的多。不得不说姜还是老的辣，赌王战至最后看似摇摇欲坠又何尝不是主动示弱的欲擒故纵？至于小子的落败，从他看穿好友做牌给自己的那一刻似已注定。荣誉终究不是口中随便说说的东西，而太多私心杂念的干扰终究影响了对局势的判断。所幸最终小子并没有一切尽失，还有爱人抚慰受伤的心灵。不过看完后不禁想到：这份爱意又能维系多久？就像西门吹雪自知输给了叶孤城的天外飞仙，之后便抛妻弃子、掐断心中情爱只对手中的剑忠诚，最终他超越了自己也成了一个近乎冷血的剑痴。也许当小子下一次准备好时，他也修炼成了如赌王这般高处不胜寒的独孤求败。
Cause of death: savage gutting; crime weapon: playing cards. The Cincinnati kid (Steve McQueen) is a prodigy of the stud poker game, but is he going to dethrone the most reputable player of all, “the man” himself (G. Robinson)? And will the earnest dealer and friend of both (Karl Malden) remain impartial? A dream cast at the service of a minimal though sharp story. As far as scripting goes, sometimes less is more – it makes every action, though innocuous it may seem, actually loaded with meaning. By the time the twist-in-the-tail ending slams down ruthlessly, we reel back & ponder the forces that drove to the fateful outcome. The writing was on the wall, we just weren't inclined to read.

命都没了，要荣誉做什么。
这结尾的戛然而止恰如人生般的逆转。太多时候把自己当主角了。
