This is a budget action film. Some people seem to think that low budget means that bad acting and worse action scenes are excusable. Anyone whose seen a really good budget movie will know that there's really no excuse. All directors have to start somewhere of course, but this director wont be going anywhere, in my opinion. The acting in this film is truly awful. There's not much I can say to redeem it. The mood of the film flicks between over-serious and Benny hill trash comedy (an apparent attempt to reproduce the comedy style of some Japanese action films, which doesn't work). The car chase being a good example; what the hell is with the stupid music and unfunny attempts at comedy when the rest of the film is trying to be serious?!. It makes no sense and gives the feeling that the director was either high, a clueless student, or both. There are some hot babes in the film but nowhere near hot enough to make the bad acting bearable. Bas is a hero to any fighting fan but I'm afraid to say his appearance is so short I can't even recommend the film to his die-hard fans. A previous reviewer forgave this film's misgivings giving it 8 stars, and I can understand that there are times when budget movie-trash is sometimes a good laugh, but there are so many much better budget films than this that I can't find it in my heart to recommend it to anyone other than the directors mum.
关塔那摩跟打扑克有什么练习？ 心灵创伤强行打开方式
加害者与受害者一体的创伤后遗症呈现，可是真的好枯燥好无聊。
看守的ptsd和士兵战后ptsd
扑克手的特写，广角长镜头的梦魇，迷茫的自我救赎，对布列松的招魂，施拉德的回光返照。
要不是因为Issac 不至于看这片 太催眠了
让我有点想起《第一归正会》。是我喜欢的风格。
在国家利益面前，戈多说的一句话的确没问题…在这里无需要分辨黑白对错，获取有益美国人民的一切…威廉的冷静和操控力像K，加黑女骚年这三个JQK搭配那段语言台本还不错
勉强3星，片名和剧情本身并无太多关联，算是对体制黑洞以及战争创伤后遗症的反讽，节奏过于拖沓，想看到一场精彩的赌局，结果看了个寂寞。
too concentrated，人物所处的环境是很凸现的，人在其中走总是想要去到哪里，然而没能卸下这股力，通道是紊乱的。
沉闷，Issac和Sheridan正常发挥，故意压平了character arc，反高潮地把能拍动作场面的事件都改成了第三人称叙述。气氛确实到位了，但也确实看得昏昏欲睡。
新黑色电影与赌片杂糅，鱼眼广角下的战争创伤与幽闭恐惧直直展现在眼前。
有几个镜头从奥斯卡的侧脸几乎看到了德尼罗😂意料外非常色气的角色。跟玩牌关系不大
本来以为是一部赌片，结果又是一部战后ptsd的片子。两种情节穿插在一起，整个片子的节奏都很慢，只是力度完全不一样，在打牌的时候很稳很平和，离开牌桌后，男主的动作和习惯以及和cirk的对话，却充满了力度。还不错
dreaming away your life
不过有一说一，威廉达福又摆了一个全新角色在我面前，这大叔戏路真的好——————宽。瑞思拜。
只拍了一个月就杀青了， 这个水平可以理解。
震惊我的是这么无聊呆板的故事里还是有清晰的人物动机和发展的 很标准古典的剧本
两段扭曲的鱼眼镜头加分，可惜的是后来电影跟德州扑克没啥关系了，我就是来看德扑的啊
ᐈ一个好的牌手能看穿你的想法，无论你是戴上耳塞，穿连帽衫，带上棒球帽，眼镜还是面具，都不能阻挡他看穿你的视线
从《light sleeper》到《美国舞男》到《第一归正》，都是延续布列松《扒手》的范式，在视觉上的静态照片，固定机位➕各种中景和人物特写，是小津安二郎的延续（毕竟保罗是布列松和小津的门徒），这几个series故事原型来自于《罪与罚》。公式如下：被罪疚感折磨的男主人公，忧郁、孤独、自我放逐，写日记又颇有“地下人”的痕迹，带着宗教哲学的刨析，遇到弱者的同情和善念，女主人带着“索尼娅”的标记，缓冲悲剧和幸福的摇摆，最后忏悔走向救赎。前几部还不错，《light sleeper 》视觉上黑色电影手法，后面都是超验风格的路子。剧本和音乐突出的是《第一归正》，可惜投资不多影响视觉。这一部故事理得顺，但女主人公只是沦为符号，保罗通常很会选男演员，女演员的品味不太好。
