The Card Counter



Forgetting the past.....not in the cards !!

PRAISE: Odd but riveting story about William Tell a gambler and former serviceman who sets out to reform a young man seeking revenge on a mutual enemy from their past.
Some meandering moments are uplifted by strong performances by Oscar Isaac,Tiffany Haddish (great legs too) Tyler Sheridan and Willem Dafoe
A good study of redemption and revenge and my love for the Casino atmosphere and gambling made the film even more appealing to me. The way the film let's you slowly into the main characters mind and rituals was mesmerizing. There's great chemistry between the characters and when there's an explosion of violence even off screen it's stunning.


PROBLEMS: The pacing is definitely off at times .Some dwelling moments go on so long I started to laugh even though they were dramatic moments

Scale of 1 to 10 a 7½
