Review of The Card Counter (2021) by Bertobellamy — 02 Mar 2022
In 'The Card Counter,' Oscar Isaac plays a troubled man who hides his sins and his trauma on the winning cards he constantly lays on the table. As William Tell, Isaac gives a haunting performance with so many layers.
By being impenetrable, his character becomes mysterious and incredibly lonely, just like your regular Paul Schrader protagonist. I found it not as good as 'First Reformed,' and Tiffany Hadish is kind of distracting with her performance; nevertheless, there's a deep discourse here about USA's decadence that is worth checking out.
