The Card Counter




 Paul Schrader has always been more of a writer than a director. He directs solid films but his scripts for Martin Scorsese are masterpieces. The Card Counter however might be his best directing. What felt like a dull premise actually has quite the intriguing story with daring imagery and compelling characters accompanied by some fine acting. Scorsese produced this but honestly it feels like a project he would have done in the 70s or 80s.
