Schroeder is not a particularly promoted director, but he competently helped Scorsese create masterpiece films, signing strong in structure and composition.
Dynamics of the script ("Taxi Driver", "Mad Bull"), remembers this director on the magnificent work "American Gigolo" (1980), where
Ingeniously, in business, freshly and tenaciously... Richard Gere played this thing, I remember it very well, because I know that this role was offered.
John Travolta, and in the end got Gere, still very young and he's just here center, the raisins. So Schroeder didn't discount it.
And I saw this picture. In general, the psychological line of all the author's films of recent years can be calculated, Paul is talented.
People try to pass their images through drama and through the political component. No exception to this thriller.
Here in the plot, the bet is not only on poker and card player and the closedness of the Personality of Oscar Isaac (his character).
but also American
A vital and epochal line of revealing the image of America as a country in its strategically important points.
Very interesting shades in the flashback part of the game of red and yellow and therefore, I note in addition to the director's work - also
Cinematography. Isaac plays the cold-blooded, absolutely cold look of the killer and for the thriller such a layout of the main role
justified. I didn’t expect the film to be so strong, across all the branches, including the melancholy amplified in the guitar.
Well-composed film.8/ 10.👌
