Card Counter follows William Tell, a former military interrogator who becomes a disciplined, solitary gambler. He uses card-counting skills to rebuild a life he cannot fully trust. An ambitious recruit and a haunting past threaten to pull him into old patterns, forcing Tell to confront guilt, mentorship, and the possibility of redemption. Schrader crafts a restrained, moody thriller with stark imagery and quiet moral questions that linger after the final hand.
