Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
黑色电影斥体制，噱头过后尽催眠。
两段扭曲的鱼眼镜头加分，可惜的是后来电影跟德州扑克没啥关系了，我就是来看德扑的啊
21/10/4：施拉德年轻的时候还能写俩本子，做导演他可能缺乏写基本功和想象力。
披着赌博片外衣的类黑帮片（犯罪片），但是故事没讲好。刚开始以为算牌有看点，其实不然。
在国家利益面前，戈多说的一句话的确没问题…在这里无需要分辨黑白对错，获取有益美国人民的一切…威廉的冷静和操控力像K，加黑女骚年这三个JQK搭配那段语言台本还不错
摄影和剪辑很加分。虽然但是，对于黑狱中的执行者没啥值得原谅的，尽管他也是个人。
完全疲软的陈词滥调，早已经屡见不鲜的架构和文本更是在无穷无尽空洞的对白中，变成了一潭不值得人多瞄几眼的清水。两次反高潮让结尾没有那么难看，但是这种困兽之斗与救赎之搏也没做出任何值得品味的地方。像是看着出租车司机长大的电影系学生的习作，可惜居然是施拉德自己。圣母 最后的决斗 算牌人，几个月里看的三位老导演的新作里处处透露着与时代的脱节甚至是不思进取。
感情上来说，非常温吞，感觉会是一场大雨，结果最后只是一场毛毛雨。本片的唯一看点大概是Oscar Isaac，刮了胡子，梳着背头，又是另外一种魅力。
本来以为是一部赌片，结果又是一部战后ptsd的片子。两种情节穿插在一起，整个片子的节奏都很慢，只是力度完全不一样，在打牌的时候很稳很平和，离开牌桌后，男主的动作和习惯以及和cirk的对话，却充满了力度。还不错
“He can recognize the Transcendent,he can study those methods which brought him to that realization,but that actual ‘why’of that realization is a mystery.”
算牌人初进年轻人旅馆镜头首次出戏，整体冷感基调尚不成熟，不出色不坏。
太喜欢这个风格了，视听真的很棒，每次这个配乐一起来，丧的情绪就已经到位了，自我救赎与复仇执念，看似走向光明的未来，却没能算到少年意气，最后宿命般的完成使命，坦然迎接结局，只是在最后却又留有了一点光明和希望，爱就是生活的意义。
我也想oscar isaac一边骂我一边朝我扔钱
好久没看过这么男的电影了…以及这么尴尬的对话。证明出租车司机真的无法复刻。
讲着讲着监狱里犯人被如何如何羞辱，然后编剧就忘了自己为啥要讲这个；讲着讲着主角参加牌局到了总决赛，然后主角入狱，总是赌博也不是重点咯，那重点是这个欠了很多债的少年吗？好像也不是，没有感情戏，没有事业线，没有无限明亮的政治正确宣传，也没有文艺闷片的氛围感，我，真的看不懂，虽然男主真是蛮帅的（除了肚腩）
以为能看到类似赌神的剧情，看来想多了。。。
不知道怎么样，反正我努力看完了。英文字幕加我的英文听力，大概弄懂了百分之八九十。看起来像一个简单的复仇。 不过这跟扑克牌有什么关系呢？ 既然片名取名为算牌人，那么这个复仇跟算牌有什么关系吗？
这片要放在二十年前绝对是部美式文艺神片，无论是男主的挑选还是整体的调调，都可以打满分的。可惜在短视频占统治地位的今天，节奏就稍微有些慢了，信息密度有些低，爽点不够多，也就是我这样的古董业余观影人才会喜欢点赞吧。而且还有一个硬伤就是，为了迎合美式的政治正确，非得整个肥黑女做女主，真是拉垮全片。如果换成一个金发白皮尤物，那这片几乎就没有任何缺点了。
让人昏昏欲睡的对白，歌好听但也铺太多了吧。感情线尤为莫名其妙，最后竟然还ending在这种指尖相印的画面…我对这类美式中年个人英雄故事实在是提不起兴趣。
“算牌人”的身份似乎并不重要，只是用来认识女主和快速筹钱的背景板。但这恰是全片最迷人的地方之一，我们等待男主一掷千金一夜暴富一雪前耻，我们等待牌局作为翻盘的机会，甚至我们就是在等待输或赢的结果。最后，轻飘飘的，他走了。
