Couch Potato Chronicles Movie Review

THE CARD COUNTER
3 SPUDS on PRIME

WIKI BLURB The Card Counter 1s a 2021 Amer:
can crime drama film written and directed by Paul
Schrader It stars Oscar Isaac, Tiffany Haddish, Tye
Sheridan, and Willem Dafoe Martin Scorsese serves
as an executive producer

MY TWO CENTS The first thing you need to know
1s that this movie 1s real American anema It's beau
fully paced, intimate, violent, powerful in the way
the story 1s told

It's quite revealing about the business of profes
sional gambling, but it's even more revealing about
the ghosts that haunt certain people in the Amen
can culture

Oscar Isaac 1s simply amazing, playing the tough
est of all roles, which 1s the detached, unemotional
poker-faced gambler with an extremely violent
past that included a eight and a half year stretch
in Leavonworth, which was the result of being sold
down the river, so to speak, by his superiors

This movie 1s clean and simple like most Paul
Schrader movies are, with only 4 main characters,
all of whom are terrific in their roles And the story.
it tells about America is pretty damning it its own
way

The stuff that many Americans carry around in
their heads from the experiences they've had as
part of the world’s foremost war machine 1s really
the real engine that powers this excellent film
