Card Counter, The [Opens Sept. 10 in theaters.] Awesome acting dominates Paul Schrader's powerful, taut, intense, dripping, dark, 111-minute thriller punctuated by striking cinematography in which a regimented, guilt-ridden former Army interrogator (Oscar Isaac), who lives a Spartan, whitewashed existence in motels as he travels from casino to casino to gamble in order to pass the time, ends up in a military prison as one scapegoat for his cruel and inhumane treatment of Middle Eastern prisoners in Abu Ghraib and after teaching himself to count cards, he befriends an angry, revenge-fueled, disillusioned, college-dropout (Tye Sheridan) determined to kill the interrogation training contractor (Willem Dafoe) he believes is responsible for his despondent father's suicide and contemplates working with a charming gambler (Tiffany Haddish) who wants him to join her stable of poker players.
