On a brisk day in November 1998, a doughy balding Brooklyn computer salesman was supposed to report to prison to begin serving a 17-year sentence. He rented a Ford Taurus. Drove to Queens to turn in the ankle monitor he had been wearing. He took $600 out of an ATM. Headed to JFK airport. And vanished. His name was John Ruffo. The crime he had committed was outlandish. Using forged documents and fake corporate seals, he persuaded banks to loan him $350 million. He invented a nonexistent proposition that he called “Project Star” and he used the money to gamble the millions on the stock market, becoming one of Wall Street’s high-rollers. When the FBI caught wind of his swindle, they set up a sting. At his sentencing, prosecutors made an unthinkable mistake. They agreed to let John Ruffo drive himself to prison. What followed was one of the longest and most challenging manhunts in the history of the U.S. Marshals Service. We discover a man whose life was a hall of mirrors. Secret identities, unlikely affiliations, and bogus companies are uncovered. Was he secretly helping an elite unit of FBI spy-hunters lure Soviet scientists to defect? Did he cut a deal with the mob to help him disappear? Was that him, seated behind home plate at Dodger Stadium? We join the chase as the Marshals try and resolve a case that has baffled and bewildered generations of their colleagues, crossing the globe to ask one pressing question: Have you seen this man?
（不知所云之下气氛和节奏却很好）（奥爹太帅了吧！！！！！！！！！！！！！！）（不得不说他的狠脸又脆弱的样子让这部片子的可信度提高了许多）
一开始觉得声音和监狱走廊的拉伸感蛮好的（质地接近升级版的广角麦芽糖？），但后来感觉这些乍看新奇的东西被很多倒胃口的设计拖下水了（比如说那种近似中国城市夜景的灯光秀）…… 在保罗施拉德的作品里比较次等。
深渊永远是深渊，凝视是残忍的，无论如何视而不见，它总就在那里。(没看懂、也不会再看….
说实话，本作卡斯阵容也相当不错：
欲观牌桌风云变，半途杀出复仇男。
Oscar Isaac 梳着大背头，不知为何令我想起了旧好莱坞时的演员... 画面和配乐不错，调子极慢极隐忍，然而末尾却感觉戛然而止。
沉郁而缓慢，被唤醒的创伤意识和无法被生活染色的白，不过越看越感觉Tell更像一个意图假装性感的单纯清教徒。
La rédemption d’une âme tourmentée.
可惜的是，畸变的画面将创伤展现得很好，理解和爱的说服力则没那么强。
关塔那摩跟打扑克有什么练习？ 心灵创伤强行打开方式
替罪羊之无聊误打误撞学会算牌的帅气背头大叔。
往事虽然过去，但是记忆过不去;暴力已经成为往事，但是躯体里已然充满暴力，想要达到心理平衡是多么困难的事，打牌赌钱，奔波往来，都无济于事
还有这种类型的电影
2.5 救贖、孤獨、日記獨白、夜間流離的戲份都看得出 Taxi Driver 的影子，但Paul Schrader 始終不是 Martin Scorsese 啊
7/10 全方位不如《第一归正会》，赌场是施拉德随手抓的一个类型元素么？
6.7。这2种题材融合在一起还真是不好拍，画面和摄影手法都挺不错，音乐也可以，好好拍赌片不挺好的嘛，剧情拉垮了
又是个恩怨情仇的故事，终归是仇占了上风、主宰了生活，爱则一如既往的坚强——在电影里。
漠视幸运，拒绝成为幸福的人，背负过往伤痛成为赎罪，算牌人最后把一手好牌打坏，但也是他不得不实现的救赎。
赌牌是表，自我救赎是里，虐囚是因。日日背负良心谴责，却在一个叛逆废才青年身上找回内心深处的善良与正直。剧本很好，大部分时间电影都在铺垫和蓄势，叙述和表现手法非常克制，克制得近乎沉闷，但妙也妙在点到即止。气质上更接近文艺片。
男主毁灭式的复仇太牵强，小孩不过是认识没多久。讲扑克又不花笔墨在扑克上，两头不到位。
