Wrong. Oscar Isaac should win the Oscar. He is absolutely outstanding and the film is tremendous as well.

There is a huge underlying problem. It looks so cheap technically like an episode of some digital HBO or AMC series.

If there was ever a movie that should've been shot on film, this is it. This guy worked with scorsese in the past.

there is a real good film somewhere in there. I cannot imagine seeing this on small digital screen. It needed to be shot on film to make it gritty.

Isaac's performance literally holds the film together.

Oscar Isaac does deliver a solid performance, but this isn't anywhere near one of his best...

To be that guy. It was actually shot on the ARRI LF not the ARRI 65.

Martin Scorsese Helped Paul Schrader Finish ‘The Card Counter’ During Quarantine

“Here’s what happened. I was editing. My editor is in New Jersey and my assistant editor is in Tennessee, so we’re all editing virtually. And I had four major dialogue scenes between my principal characters that I had not shot,” Schrader said. “Then I was able to screen virtually the film for a number of people I respect, like Scorsese, who is the executive producer, like [filmmaker and programmer] Kent Jones and other people. And what I asked them all is, ‘I have four more scenes to shoot. I can rewrite them. What am I missing? What do I need to add? How should I write these four scenes?'”

“I was able to rewrite these scenes and make these relationships much better. And not all productions get to do that,” Schrader said. “It’s a very expensive reshoot, but it was built-in that three-quarters of the way through, I have an opportunity to rewrite one-quarter of the meaningful character scenes. So I did, I rewrote it. And I realized what was missing. And I wouldn’t have realized that if I was shooting at the top. I would have only realized that in post. And I would have walked around the room kicking myself in the ass, saying, ‘I wish I had the opportunity to reshoot some scenes.'”

“Basically, I’m finished, down to an hour and 49 minutes, which is where I think it should be. Obviously, I have to do the score, there’s the post-prod and the special effects, but the thing is that there’s no pressure to finish the film anymore at this time,” he said. “I was talking to Focus, and I could give them the film in a month. They don’t want the film in a month because they don’t know what to do with it in a month. They said, you just take whatever time you need, which is the opposite of the way studios usually talk. I also have final cut, so it doesn’t really matter. What I deliver, I deliver.”

[Star Lord]

Looks great!

[Hoke Moseley]

Hopefully it's just a poorly put together trailer and the movie itself turns out to be good.

[Foggy]

For better or for worse, it looks like a Paul Schrader film through and through.

[Modren]

I'm not liking the cinematography on display here. It looks very flat and generic, more like a TV show (aside from the black-and-white bits). I'm actually a little surprised this has the same cinematographer as First Reformed, I thought that film looked a lot better than this.

[The Sovereign]

I'm all in.

[slumcat]

Looks great!

How does Oscar does not have an Oscar till now. The guy is one of the best working today.
