The lead role Schrader gave to Oscar Isaacs, one of the most in-demand actors in Hollywood. He is accompanied by Tye Sheridan and Willem Dafoe.

The director seeks not so much to show violence against one person, but the emptiness, exhaustion, psychological breakdown of a person as a result of this violence. In addition to all the above, the film combines the features of a card game with attention-grabbing trifles.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space height=”52px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” type=”boxed”][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
