Moving to Portland, Oregon and finding work in food service is easy for Paul and Ramona. A struggling musician without bandmates, Paul becomes introverted and moody. Ramona's friend from college introduces her to a new social circle and she goes out while Paul stays home. When Ramona confronts turning thirty, it's time to grow beyond old routines and her relationship with Paul comes to a head.
Paul and Ramona, a young couple in need of a change, move to Portland, Oregon from their hometown of Boise. Upon arriving, they sublet an apartment and begin to familiarize themselves with the city. While finding work is easy (Ramona begins waitressing, while Paul gets a job at a coffee shop), change is difficult. Their life in this new city seems to be on repeat. When their car breaks down and a tandem bicycle becomes their primary means of transportation, Ramona refuses to ride.
A struggling musician, Paul, spends most of his time at home, steadily becoming introverted and moody, while Ramona, at the insistence of a co-worker, is thrust into a new social circle, where she begins an affair with a co-worker. Ramona and Paul’s relationship implodes after she confesses and in the ensuing conflict, she impulsively leaves to stay with a friend. Paul, desperate to work through the pain of the split, befriends a quirky barista named Ali. This friendship gives him a chance to begin to heal and inspires him to focus on expression through his music.
男主很有型 片子虽沉闷 手法却是我喜欢的类型
叫你回家探亲，不要去白给啊小伙子
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。
算牌人但是和算牌并没啥关系。但是把奥拍的很美
行走江湖的传说，一段悲痛回忆背后的成长，带有浓厚大卫林奇风格的镜头语言和配乐，却是有些一丝斯科塞斯的人物设定，堪称精彩
勉强算更现代风格的布列松 但文本主题和影像始终不搭
套上这个无聊的复仇故事，奥斯卡的魅力可以说少了半分
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。
施拉德是一位优秀的编剧 但不是优秀的导演 剧情太散且闷… 广角监狱那段是唯一亮点 ？
高开低走，因为配乐和奥斯卡的脸值得一看。三星给鱼眼镜头的噩梦部分，男主角阴影下的脸太迷人了，配乐也可以。爱情线尬到我脚趾抠出巨型陨石坑。而且也没看出算牌和主线有什么联系，其实不算牌，是个谨慎的小偷或者抢劫犯故事都不会受到影响啊！我不理解。
以全片做铺垫为了引导别人看爽快血腥的复仇结局。。。结果就这。。。
86+ 冷靜克制，深渾雋永。我們總是賭上命運，拼著我們的孤勇做一些自己以爲正確的事。所以泰爾最後放棄了算牌，放棄了秩序和平靜（或許不是真正的平靜），而選擇了終結那骯髒成罪的過去。隔著屏幕的指頭點觸摸，猶如現代的拯救亞當，把整部電影升華成爲震撼人心的神跡。
期待值太高了，结果看了两次也没看进去。放弃了。
以反类型之眼观物，“异常”严肃认真的语气驱动影像的inner groove形成某种特殊的张驰之力。好几个摇臂推进的俯视镜头经常给人一种恍惚和间离感，人物仿佛不属于此刻，而是永远流寓在生活的螺旋中。
走性冷淡风的导演不该找伊萨克的，他紧实的屁股和壮硕的大腿让整个画面都非常不性冷淡
要不是因为Issac 不至于看这片 太催眠了
女主不够漂亮诱人、让那个小年轻跟自己也有些突兀，除此之外，不错的片子，节奏略显缓慢。洋人就是喜欢这种大背景（美国黑狱虐囚）下的小故事。
看完唱起那首歌：万万没想到，万万没想到啊~
# 78 Venezia # 3.5 除了男主无可替代的颜和肉以外，在沉默中的突然爆发会令不少观者路转粉，此外用于展示PTSD的扭曲镜头很精彩
执着于过去的伤痕，妄想得到救赎，却重复撕开伤疤永远无法向前。
