The Card Counter (2021)
Written & directed Paul Schrader this film stars Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish and Tye Sheridan. A gambler hiding hides his past as soldier convicted for torturing prisoners.
Like many I am waiting for the next great poker film, sadly this is not it, the poker in the film is not really good or believable. I found the rest of the film to be a bit stale, the characters never really spark and the conflict inside the protagonist is just too placid. The praise this film gets surprises me, it is no where near Schrader's best work.
2/5
