Review of The Card Counter (2021) by Unclewillard — 12 Dec 2021
While I enjoyed Isaacs performance and the cool, disconnected portrayal of a gambler who has seen some **** this ultimately went nowhere. Reminded me of Rounders, but without the tight plot. Sheridan is just there and Haddish, per usual, is terrible.
I really don't see why she is in anything, let alone everything these days. She's not attractive, she can't act, and she sounds like she smokes a carton of Camel non-filters every day. She's also bowlegged so when she tries to make a sexy entrance, all I can think of is Red Foxx.
Nothing more pathetic than a woman who is not sexy acting like she is. Her and Isaac have zero chemistry. Dafoe is criminally underutilized. I didn't care for First Reformed either. In fact, Taxi Driver was the only thing of Schrader's I've liked.
