This started off well. A curmudgeon grandma with grand-kids who visits a soothsayer - and then goes off to the casino to see what can happen. It has a some good twists and turns.
But then - it just becomes a mafiosa story with standard shoot-outs and silly confrontations. Its like the directors had no idea what to do with their build-up and filled the latter half of the film with standard cliches that were very humdrum.

In the heart of Chinatown, New York, an ornery, chain-smoking, newly widowed 80-year-old grandma (Tsai Chin) is eager to live life as an independent woman, despite the worry of her family. When a local fortune teller (Wai Ching Ho ) predicts a most auspicious day in her future, Grandma decides to head to the casino and goes all in, only to land herself on the wrong side of luck-suddenly attracting the attention of some local gangsters. Desperate to protect herself, Grandma employs the services of a bodyguard (Corey Ha) from a rival gang and soon finds herself in the middle of a Chinatown gang war.

This was a pleasant film. Nothing taxing but some fun performances to watch. Probably not as heartwarming as it could have been but also not edgy at all. It was straight down the middle.

An overall good movie. Safe for 12 and up to watch. Amusing, with a few good laughs. The actors were engaging and entertaining. The film didn't drag much, kept a pretty good pace. Semi-believable story line. Fun to watch.
