The Card Counter (dir. Paul Schrader).

Schrader crafts a methodically told story through voiceover narration, plain exposition, and mundane scenes of predictable routine. This is how [Oscar] Isaac’s card shark Bill spends his days counting cards for meager earnings at small casinos on the outskirts of town before entering the professional poker circuit. As we see Isaac go about lazily playing games, we’re soon introduced to the surprising real story revolving around criminal soldiers and military torture lifted from the real-life Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
