Oscar Isaac in The Card Counter (2021)

Review by sergio-32213

The Card Counter

1/10

Good cast, woeful movie

I could review the acting. I could review the movie. I could review the direction. But, there are already great reviews on here that have dissected every part of this awfully plain movie.

I only have one word that describes every part of this movie and that is "wooden." The acting was stiff, so much so that the producer could have hired actors from the local cafe and they would not have given a poorer performance.

The movie was slow, very slow, painfully slow to the point that I was thinking it was leading to a some twist in the storyline or subplot. However, it never came. It kept grinding at the slow pace.

In the end it was a movie about nothing. The card trading had no meaning in the movie. It was actually not even relevant. It had a weird male relationship between the main character and the son of a former military colleague AND it had a teasing romantic plot that again went nowhere.

The best review I can give is to avoid this movie and to use the 90 minutes you would have wasted watching this on something more useful like watching paint dry.
