Story:
William Tell is a card-player who bounces around the country, casino to casino. It turns out he has a past that he'd like to atone for involving prison torture at Abu Ghraib. He meets the son of one of his fellow Abu Ghraib colleagues. The son proposes a revenge killing of their commander, but Tell refuses and the two go on the road together. Tell tries to win enough money to pay off the kid's debts.
Reaction:
3/5 stars. Aside of Isaac's terrific performance, there's not a lot here. Not much casino or card action, and the only other people he connects with aren't that interesting. I still don't think Haddish is a good actress, and I think Tye Sheridan's way above playing the angry young man type. I kind of regretted picking this film, as it did get repetitive after a while.
Next up:
Jaws!
