Set on the cusp of the 19th century in Delhi before the British ruled in that region, the drama depicts the fortunes of the residents of Beecham House, an imposing mansion surrounded by acres of exotic woods and pristine lawns. Tom Bateman (Vanity Fair, Jekyll and Hyde) takes the role of enigmatic, soulful John Beecham, a handsome former soldier who has purchased the magnificent mansion, Beecham House, to begin a new life with his family. Wealthy and distinguished, John has witnessed profiteering and exploitation during his time with the controlling East India Company and has resolved to conduct his business as a trader in a more equitable manner. Determined to escape his previous life, John appears haunted by his past, but is inspired to become an honourable member of the region’s trading community. In spite of John’s good intentions his life is shrouded in mystery and when he arrives at the house with an ‘olive-skinned‘ child named August and two Indian nursemaids, Chanchal (Shriya Pilgaonkar) and Maya (Trupti Khamkar), it causes speculation and gossip amongst the servants that he may be the boy’s father. One of the Indian nursemaids, the beautiful Chanchal, is overly protective and particularly fond of the child. Could she be John’s lover and the mother of August? Lesley Nicol (Downton Abbey) is John’s robust, interfering mother Henrietta who has travelled from England to India to stay with her son. She is accompanied by a young family friend Violet, played by Bessie Carter (Les Miserables) who she is determined to help form a union with John. The pair are accompanied by an old friend of John’s, Samuel Parker, played by Marc Warren (Safe, Hustle) who has also left the East India Company and has returned to India for a fresh start. Samuel helps John to find his brother Daniel who he has not seen for 10 years. John convinces Daniel, Leo Suter, (Victoria) to leave the East India Company and join him at Beecham House. Gregory Fitoussi (Mr Selfridge, Spiral) plays General Castillon, a French mercenary working for the Emperor at a time when the French are challenging the East India Company for India. Castillon is suspicious of John and his motives and conspires to stop John being granted a trading licence. Adil Ray (Citizen Khan, Ackley Bridge) is John’s neighbour Murad Beg who dislikes General Castillon intensely and agrees to help John secure a trading licence. Murad’s daughter, Roshanara, (Kanika Kapur) has an English governess Margaret Osborne, played by Dakota Blue Richards (Endeavour) whose beauty and intelligence catches John’s attention. However, when beautiful Chandrika (Pallavi Sharda) arrives at Beecham House with her entourage she is shown to luxurious guest quarters and immediately insists on seeing August. What secrets does Chandrika bring with her to Beecham House?
说的是啥呢 148#2021年看104部电影
故弄玄虚的氛围和温吞的剧情推进有点脱节，爱情戏则像是硬加进去的佐料没有任何chemistry ，而”墙上挂着一把枪”的铺垫下的结果竟然是”我就是不让你看到我是怎么用的”，真是让人觉得非常没劲了。如果是一本小说，或许还挺值得一看。
《第一归正会》中的喻体：环保议题本身与救赎主题无关，因此处理得游离且荒诞，拓展出黑色幽默式的修辞；这一部里的喻体其实就是赌牌，它仍然浮于主题的表面，却被刻画得抒情又板正，最终甚至导致了电影情境的崩盘——建议把《出租车司机》忘了吧！
想要去靠出租车司机但还是失败了，故事处理的不够丝滑，他自身其实也根本没获得救赎，就像always win的usa，有些事做了就做了，再怎么美化自己也没用。
4.5星。运镜非常有特点，喜欢鱼眼广角镜头和霓虹灯小屋~
确实不是我喜欢的类型，还挺斯科塞斯的。最后高潮没推起来，男主以为自己被救赎了那里跟小孩一样表演出问题了
三星半，Oscar Issac这张冷峻的脸就是全片节奏和风格的写照。算牌只是虚晃一枪，重心是PTSD主题和相辅相成的鱼眼镜头。BRMC的音乐还是很有辨识度的。
本质是复仇片，赌博作为男主逃避和麻痹自我的作用完全没拍出来，就是单纯冷冰冰的在赌牌。赌博和复仇的部分割裂实在太严重。感情戏十分差劲，男主与男二的伪父子情戏码，和女主的伪爱情戏码都毫无火花，男二稍微好一点，女主偏喜剧演技与男主的表演以及整部电影的风格格格不入。
何必要这么讲故事呢？导演应该把自己家里都包上白布，然后拿个黑笔满屋子把意淫构思都画上涂鸦就好了，怎么还能拉投资，叫上几个演员呆若木鸡一样的演一场给观众看呢？
6.9分左右。
选了打德州扑克的作为切入点着实让人迷茫。关塔那摩ptsd，主线隐藏蛮深，最后复仇的结局让人懵逼。不过看完好一会儿，才感到，后劲很大。
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。
几乎所有喜欢的镜头都剪在预告片里了。taxi driver的味道吗？有那么一点，不足以支撑我喜欢这部电影。
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？
节奏慢，价值观不主流。William想帮助cirk走出丧父阴影，但失败了。William自己也抛下了最看重的赌局替Cirk复仇，导致自己再度入狱，与爱人分离。披着赌局的外壳，探讨的还是虐囚问题和人性。讽刺的是，有些东西，想摆脱才发现已经刻进了骨髓，当镜头扫过上校家包着白布的家具时，一切已经了然。
3/5，这片就写了能算出牌却预见不到眼前人的命运，感觉牌技大佬这条线没啥卵用啊，科普了那么多赌博方法，我看的一脸冷漠～～～
Boys help boys(不是。/《算牌人》不讲算牌，不讲赌博，甚至也不打算讲复仇。/回想起来看过的和听说过的保罗施拉德电影，导演确实拍的一直是同一个故事。/鱼眼回溯过往的方法为什么在每个评论都夸一遍，虽然很好但是——很稀奇？没懂为啥都在夸。/奥斯卡伊萨克帅到令人喷血。我承认我看他看得目不转睛。昨天刚夸了一遍哈维尔巴登。（这真是属于南美长相的一周。）/导演有一种自己的“反高潮”。尤其一个半小时结合拉进度条看内容的时候会有感觉。/结尾致敬《扒手》明确。/多嘴说一句，帅哥男主搭的不是幼龄傻白甜也不是符号化的尤物，同龄、风韵犹存但也像是有故事的样子。希望这种平权细节能多有。
ᐈ住旅馆，将房间内所有的东西都套上自己准备的白色套子，重度洁癖
好无聊的电影。。。我在电影院玩了两局王者。。。
一位孤寂神秘的男人，一个始终不能遗忘的过去阴影，一种自我毁灭的倾向，连同一个作为背景的有争议的社会议题……它可以是《夜行者》、《你从未在此》、或者导演自己的《出租车司机》，抑或本片。感觉这类电影的成败主要在于一位迷人的主演，在这一点上，本片的主演不负所望。一个天赋异禀的男人之所以能做到抗拒人性不成为一个赌徒，乃是因为他心中有着更大的愤怒和空洞。
