When I saw that Martin Scorsese was the executive producer, I thought this movie would be on par with the likes of Taxi Driver or Goodfellas. Wow, I was so totally wrong. Simply put, this movie sucked.
It’s a dark character study, which is usually great as long as the writing is well done. Nope, not here. We weren’t given enough backstory to understand his motives or give one flying crap about him.The World’s Most Indispensable Movie App

The sub-stories weren’t fleshed out enough to even understand why it was put in the movie. I adore Tye Sheridan; he hit my radar with, “Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse.” He’s a delight to watch on the big screen. Except here. I don’t even know why he took the role. I suppose he had some bills to pay.
I’m going to stop after one more gripe. I love Tiffany Haddish. She’s funny, raunchy, tough and a joy to watch. Except here. This was the worst casting choice ever. This wasn’t a role for her. It’s like they had her on a leash and toned her down too much. I’m sorry Tiffany.
I didn’t like this one at all. There won’t be a recommendation to any of my friends and family with this flick.
Grade: D+
About The Peetimes: There is only one Peetime for this movie due to the fact that they did not spend much time in any one location.
There are no extra scenes during, or after, the end credits of The Card Counter. (What we mean by Anything Extra.)
What people are saying about the RunPee app.
Movie Watching Must Have!!
I go feral for this app. I love it so much and I wish everyone knew about it and used it. It is incredibly useful and I would be devastated if this app ever disappeared. Things I love: 1) the pee times! It’s so handy to know the best time to go and then read the synopsis of what’s happening while I’m gone. I never have to worry about missing the good bits! 2) knowing if there is a post-credits scene or not. This might be my fav feature because I would have missed out on some pretty critical scenes if it weren’t for RunPee. 3) the movie review and viewer rankings. This info has made me watch some movies that I normally wouldn’t and it’s nice seeing things outside of my usual scope. 4) that it’s a small family run business. I love shopping small and it really does feel like I’m part of the RunPee family! If you reach out to them, Dan will personally respond to you and he is so warm and helpful. GET THIS APP AND THEN SUBSCRIBE! It is absolutely worth it and you’ll be using it again and again!

RunPee.com owes RunPee Sis a huge debt of gratitude. She sees any movie needed with no complaints and has done so for ten years (even basing Thanksgiving and Christmas family festivities around the seeing films). In 2015 Sis ran the entire RunPee enterprise herself, while RunPee Dan, Jilly and Mom went traipsing off to Europe. Sis is the spider in the web holding the RunPee family together — besides being a funny, well rounded person, and a joyous pleasure to be around. Her favorite films start and end with horror (which thank goodness she’s happy to see, since most of us don’t have the stomach for it) — but also likes silly comedies, sad dramas, and musicals of all types. If you’ve used a Peetime for a scary film, you probably have RunPee Sis to thank for it.
Favorite movie genre: Horror, horror, and more horror. The more disturbing, the better. Period.
