Entertainment Reviews:
What truly makes the film is its paced, tempered restraint and reserve, with only occasional discreet flashes of the satire that you might expect in depictions of the gambling scene.
Sight and Sound
THE CARD COUNTER, Paul Schrader’s new movie, gives him plenty of headspace to self-examine, literalizing his psyche in the confines of multiple hotel rooms and, at other points in his life, jail cells...
Rolling Stone
It finds writer-director Schrader once again in a reflective frame of mind, pondering the limits of punishment while blurring the line between expiation and self-destruction.
Hollywood Reporter
In THE CARD COUNTER, the writer-director Paul Schrader moves into this genre with consummate ease and skill.
Variety
4 stars out of 5 -- [The film] reaffirms Schrader as a master of stories involving morally ambiguous men concealing ready-to-erupt inner lives.
Empire
[A] haunting, moving story of spirit and flesh, sin and redemption, love and death...
New York Times
4 stars out of 5 -- The three characters are an odd trio, beautifully played. The exuberant Haddish underplays with brilliance, while Sheridan keeps Cirk earnestly appealing in spite of his homicidal intentions.

Product Description:
This thriller follows William Tell (Oscar Isaac), an ex-serviceman trying his luck as a professional casino gambler. But after a chance meeting with an unpredictable young man named Cirk (Tye Sheridan) who is set on revenge against an old military colonel, William's trajectory changes. The two men hit the casino trail together with backing from a gambling financier named La Linda (Tiffany Haddish), trying to break into the World Series of Poker. However, it's not long before Cirk's erratic behavior forces William to face up to his dark past. Written and directed by Paul Schrader.
