"A Gentleman’s Wager" tells the story of a wager between two men which results in a truly rare experience as part of their quest for personal progress. Filmed in the British Virgin Islands and London, the film sees Jude Law in the role of a man who, despite having it all, proposes a wager as an excuse to challenge himself to create an original performance in order to win a money-can’t-buy prize.

Erik Simca : Yes, ads that introduces and instill living life Values. Ads is a vehicle for businesses and products, nothing wrong with that as business, information and economy spins the world. Product ads with the call for humanistic values are priceless. One may not find himself relating to the product but everyone definitely relates to Values. Hope more good ads like this are produced everywhere. Values of the old and young - respectful of each other and good friendship.

@TheNefastor 4 жыл бұрын

The whiskey was easy enough to ignore, especially since I don't drink the stuff. I appreciated that this... mini movie, let's call it... didn't just try to sell me on the idea that a specific brand of alchohol would make me cool, double the length of my dick and attract quasi-naked women from way beyond the horizon. Almost makes me want to try whiskey, but not quite.

"I once sailed a vessel older and rarer than any other. It was priceless -- nothing compared. I had acquired it in payment of a life debt owed my father's father, and when he passed, the vessel passed to me. This is our story; this is our fate. How my once estranged son found himself upon that vessel and reconciled to the family. How the heirloom passed yet again, for my last moments were upon me. This is the song, the dance, the story -- embellished with naught but the nautical flair of the very waters upon which we sailed. This is the story, of how I finished the course. This is the dance, in which the finest blend of whiskey whisked me along for the trip of a life. This, this -- is an ad for a drink.
