Ex-military interrogator William Tell (Oscar Isaac) lived OK off of his skill set at the casino tables--until he was approached by young Cirk (Tye Sheridan), who came looking for his help in a payback for the CO (Willem Dafoe) who'd wrecked both their lives. He opted to try and steer the kid from his plans by making him an apprentice...but even as the chips piled up, a confrontation with his dark past remained inevitable. Writer-director Paul Schrader's intense thriller co-stars Tiffany Haddish. 109 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
