"Happy Card" is not the main gang crime card, but to explore the mutual rescue and warmth between people, but it is undeniable that the gang, crime and other elements of the joining of "Happy Card" does cover a layer of mystery, the tangled relationship between the characters and the tense rhythm of events, let the audience for the protagonist of the fear, but also convey the values of the film itself.
