The Card Counter Reviews

The Movie Critic
Verified Oct 7, 2021

If you want a slow, dreary, film with uninspired acting well we couldnt tell you how it finished. This review describes the film.

Started out intriguing but slowed down and got boring fast. It's no Cincinnati Kid. If the main character has to explain what he's doing, who cares. Isaac, who I like, is pretty emotionless - maybe the card counting carries over to his character and makes him borderline dull. Haddish is wasted in an underwritten role. The "ending" derails and both makes little sense and involves things Isaac should've seen coming a mile away simultaneously. Schrader's a bad director and hasn't written a good script since "Taxi Driver". Without Scorsese as an Executive producer, I doubt this even gets made. It probably shouldn't have. Save your money.

Great acting good photography and music. Plot is at times intense and interesting others it loses tension and it becomes rush and confusing

it had that good slow burn that I like but I feel they could have showed how Mr. Issac transitioned to card counting expert a little more exactingly. He got good at his craft but no way he was good out of the gate. They didn't have time to develop that though. and nothing against Tiffany Haddish but I didn't understand why she was there which left me feeling her part was manufactured just to make her a part of the story. a bit disconnected, but she did play her role very well. like most comic actors, they nail dramatic roles when given a chance.

So slow and horribly written. Plotline left many gaps and questions. Oscar's acting, as always was fabulous, but disappointed in Tiffany's debut in drama. Kept wanting to push fast forward on my remote, but in the theater and did not have one. I really want my money and time back. You should pay me.

The movie had some interesting things going. The end was kind of a letdown as we would usually like to see the hero succeed. Also, the poker game was left unfinished.
