I honestly didn’t know what to anticipate going into this film, and it ended up being a slow-paced story that had me feeling puzzled as I walked out of the theater, wondering about its intended audience. Oscar Isaac ("William Tell") portrays a gambler—a successful one who keeps a low profile—and his character carries a history of trauma from his time in the military. He crosses paths with a young man named "Cirk" (Tye Sheridan), and they discover they share a connection: both have been negatively affected by their former commanding officer, "Gordo" (Willem Dafoe). The older man attempts to help the younger one manage his anger and desire for retribution, essentially taking him under his wing. However, that’s not really what happens. Instead, he brings Cirk along to poker games, shares his earnings, and introduces him to his contact person, "La Linda" (Tiffany Haddish). That appears to be all the assistance he provides—a surface onto which the young man can project himself and become listless. It was at that point I began checking the time. Later on, the story takes a sudden turn that's not only disheartening but also foreshadows an ending that’s quite disappointing. The conversations feel forced, and although Haddish is easily the standout performer, the rest of the actors seem to drift through a dull atmosphere of emotional weightiness, which isn't particularly engaging to watch. Perhaps I wasn’t in the right frame of mind, but glancing around the cinema, it seemed like others were also questioning why they hadn't chosen to see "Spencer" instead.
